TIME'S HAND IS KIND, by MARGARET E. BRUNER
First Line: For those who place their blooms on new-made graves
Last Line: And, in its stead, will come a strange new peace.
Subject(s): Time
First Line: For those who place their blooms on new-made graves
Last Line: And, in its stead, will come a strange new peace.
Subject(s): Time
For those who place their blooms on new-made graves
And feel that life holds nought but emptiness,
Know that time's hand in kindness ever saves
The heart from too much sorrow and distress.
Yet all deep wounds heal slowly, it would seem,
But gradually the yearning pain will cease. . . .
Thus will your grief become a hallowed dream
And, in its stead, will come a strange new peace.
