Alternate Author Name(s): Cayzer, Charles
Subject(s): Emotions; Grief; Sorrow; Sadness
But have we never found her kinship vain,
Ere yet the struggling will hath been resign'd?
Her cold indifference to mortal pain!
The riddle of her heart, how hard to find!
Capricious, and to fitful moods inclined!—
She smiles, she seems to mock us in our sorrow,
And just as lightly will she weep to-morrow!
