TO ONE WEEPING, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Maiden, these are sacred tears
Last Line: In my heart at singing time.
Subject(s): Blackbirds; Grief; Sorrow; Sadness


MAIDEN, these are sacred tears,
Let me not disturb your grief;
Had I but your bosom's fears
I should weep, nor seek relief.

My woe is a silent woe
'Til I give it measured rhyme,
When the blackbird's flute is low
In my heart at singing time.
