EACH LIFE HAS GRIEF by MARIETTA ERVEN

First Line: EACH LIFE HAS GRIEF, AND YET EACH LIFE MUST WEAR
Last Line: THAT EACH WITH EACH MAY FIND GRIEF LESS FORLORN.
Subject(s): GRIEF; SORROW; SADNESS;

Each life has grief, and yet each life must wear
A glad exterior, or the weight of care
Would burden down the beauty of the world,
And make this muted pain too hard to bear.

There is so much of grief, in silence borne,
That souls no longer question why they mourn;
But move together in their loneliness
That each with each may find grief less forlorn.
