ONE WOMAN'S TEARS, by RUTH MALONE First Line: Tears that well through selfish sand Last Line: Are hidden tears of loneliness. Subject(s): Solitude; Tears; Loneliness | |||
Tears that well through selfish sand She scatters with a flouting hand; From ferny crypts sweet freshets rise To stem the grief in other eyes. Love lifts a floodgate, tears spring up Like dewdrops in a blue flower's cup, But crystal-hard through long duress Are hidden tears of loneliness. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...IN ABEYANCE by DENISE LEVERTOV IN A VACANT HOUSE by PHILIP LEVINE SUNDAY ALONE IN A FIFTH FLOOR APARTMENT, CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS by WILLIAM MATTHEWS SILENCE LIKE COOL SAND by PAT MORA THE HONEY BEAR by EILEEN MYLES YOU STIR NO STONE by RUTH MALONE SISTER MARIA CELESTE, GALILEO'S DAUGHTER, WRITES TO FRIEND by MADELINE DEFREES SONNET WRITTEN IN THE FALL OF 1914: 1 by GEORGE EDWARD WOODBERRY |
