First Line: Something of sorrow am I not denied
Last Line: And sands bear record of the sedulous tide.
Subject(s): Pain; Suffering; Misery
SOMETHING of sorrow am I not denied,—
Share of the earth's old, universal pain
I own,—though but as hillsides own the rain,
Or solid sands the long wave's stroking side.
Still, though no rains upon the steep may bide,
And harmlessly the sea-floods rise and wane,
The downward torrent-traces do remain,
And sands bear record of the sedulous tide.
