GRIEF by GLADYS CROMWELL

First Line: EXULTANT WHIRLWIND WRUNG THE BRANCHES
Last Line: INAUDIBLY, REMEMBERING.
Subject(s): GRIEF; SEASONS; SORROW; SADNESS;
EXULTANT whirlwind wrung the branches;
And the weak leaves were loosed with power.
I heard the pelting dissonances;
Anguish in the autumn shower.

But living petals now take wing
Like butterflies with dusky flashes;
April flutters her white ashes
Inaudibly, remembering.
