EACH LIFE HAS GRIEF, by MARIETTA ERVEN First Line: Each life has grief, and yet each life must wear Last Line: That each with each may find grief less forlorn. Subject(s): Grief; Sorrow; Sadness | ||||||||
Each life has grief, and yet each life must wear A glad exterior, or the weight of care Would burden down the beauty of the world, And make this muted pain too hard to bear. There is so much of grief, in silence borne, That souls no longer question why they mourn; But move together in their loneliness That each with each may find grief less forlorn. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONOMA FIRE by JANE HIRSHFIELD AS THE SPARKS FLY UPWARDS by JOHN HOLLANDER WHAT GREAT GRIEF HAS MADE THE EMPRESS MUTE by JUNE JORDAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 19 by JAMES JOYCE DIRGE AT THE END OF THE WOODS by LEONIE ADAMS SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: FLETCHER MCGEE by EDGAR LEE MASTERS JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY (FROM A WESTERNER'S POINT OF VIEW) by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR |
