Come away Sorrow, Sorrow come away -- Let us go sit in some cool, shadowy place; There shall you sing and hush me all the day, While I will dream about my lover's face. Hush me, O Sorrow, like a babe to sleep, Then close the lids above mine eyes that weep; Rock me, O Sorrow, like a babe in pain, Nor, when I slumber, wake me up again. | 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 AN ORCHARD AT AVIGNON by AGNES MARY F.
