AD ASTRA: 14 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: BUT HAVE WE NEVER FOUND HER KINSHIP VAIN
Last Line: AND JUST AS LIGHTLY WILL SHE WEEP TO-MORROW!
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!
