FOR ONE LATELY BEREFT, by MARGARET E. BRUNER First Line: Though now you are bereft and ways seem black Last Line: And happiness will come to you again. Subject(s): Mourning; Bereavement | ||||||||
Though now you are bereft and ways seem black, With emptiness and gloom on every hand; Someday Time's healing touch will lead you back, And gradually your heart will understand That what you bore must come to one and all, And Peace, the clean white flower born of pain, Will slowly, surely, rise from sorrow's pall, And happiness will come to you again. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HUNGERFIELD by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE MOURNER by LOUISE MOREY BOWMAN HECUBA MOURNS by MARILYN NELSON THERE IS NO GOD BUT by AGHA SHAHID ALI IF I COULD MOURN LIKE A MOURNING DOVE by FRANK BIDART A DOG'S VIGIL by MARGARET E.
