Subject(s): Absence; Grief; Melancholy; Tears; Separation; Isolation; Sorrow; Sadness; Dejection
MANY tributes Life hath brought me,
Delicate and touched with splendour ...
Of all gracious gifts and tender
She hath given no gift diviner
Than your silver tears of sorrow
For my wild heart's suffering.
Many evils Time hath wrought me,
Happiness and health hath broken ...
Of all joy or grief for token
He hath left no gift diviner
Than your silver tears of Sorrow
For my wild heart's suffering.
