Classic and Contemporary Poetry

THE POINT OF VIEW by ANNA BUNSTON DE BARY

First Line: YOU THINK IT NOBLEST TO REFRAIN
Last Line: THE BRIDEGROOM'S PEARLS?
Subject(s): BRIDES; GRIEF; SORROW; SADNESS;
YOU think it noblest to refrain
From songs of grief;
You make a secret of your pain—
Oh, unbelief!

Shall matron brows and necks be bare
As those of girls?
And shall the bride, then, never wear
The Bridegroom's pearls?
