Subject(s): Doves; Grief; Love - Loss Of; Music & Musicians; Violins; Sorrow; Sadness
AT times, when, with an anguish all too keen,
The violin doth tensely tell of grief,
Tugging at heart-strings till the tale, I ween,
Is over-cruel, calls for some relief:
I joy to hear, like cooings of lost doves,
The grave viola plaining of old loves.
