LOVE AND SORROW, by                     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.
