First Line: No doubt it is the greater honor to the
Last Line: Not back into the ark again with somewhere land ahead.
Subject(s): Grief; Hope; Sorrow; Sadness; Optimism
No doubt it is the greater honor to the shrine I love
To worship, grieving, whence I know a god has fled;
For song must be the stronger, clearer, to the hearkened,
And trained to echo back a hope, though flew the dove
Not back into the ark again with somewhere land ahead.
