DOULEUR, by                    
First Line: Why do my hopes
Last Line: Across my path ...?
Subject(s): Hope; Optimism


Why do my hopes,
Like yellow withered leaves,
Fall to the ground
And turn to mud—
While my regrets
Grow and blossom
Like giant evergreens,
And throw their dismal shadows
Across my path ...?
