LOVE AND SORROW, by WILLIAM EDWARD HARTPOLE LECKY Poet's Biography First Line: Love in the country, sorrow in the town Last Line: The brightest sunshine casts the darkest shade. Subject(s): Grief; Love; Sorrow; Sadness | ||||||||
LOVE in the country, Sorrow in the town: Let Love have roots, but Sorrow only wings; Where life moves slow each feeling deepens down: A crowded life the quickest solace brings. But Love from Sorrow never more will part, She would not heal the wounds her sister made; She makes more keen each feeling of the heart; The brightest sunshine casts the darkest shade. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONOMA FIRE by JANE HIRSHFIELD AS THE SPARKS FLY UPWARDS by JOHN HOLLANDER WHAT GREAT GRIEF HAS MADE THE EMPRESS MUTE by JUNE JORDAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 19 by JAMES JOYCE DIRGE AT THE END OF THE WOODS by LEONIE ADAMS THE SOWER AND HIS SEED by WILLIAM EDWARD HARTPOLE LECKY |
