Alternate Author Name(s): Cayzer, Charles
Subject(s): Life
Thus every sorrow hides a central joy,
And with all suffering and pain'd under-song
God mingles a bright tempering of alloy
That more than compensates the seeming wrong;
For to the maim'd Life's holiest joys belong—
A keener sensibility to bliss,
A finer insight into all that is.
