Love said one morn to Sorrow "Lend me your robe of grey, And here is mine so gay: Please borrow, And each the other be until to-morrow." At morn they met and parted: Each had her own again; But each a new-felt pain; Broken-hearted, Love; and Sorrow, broken-hearted. Love sighed "No more I'll borrow: I'll never more be glad." . . . "Can Love be oh so sad," Sighed Sorrow: And so they kissed and parted on that morrow. But when these lovers parted God made them seem as one— "For so My will is done Among the broken-hearted," He said; "O ye who are broken-hearted." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ANGEL OR WOMAN by THOMAS PARNELL SONG, FR.
