VISION, by ELIZABETH N. HAUER First Line: There have been times when I have looked at life Last Line: Dwarfing my paltry tragedies to nought. | |||
There have been times when I have looked at life From out the eyes of sorrow, and have felt The utter loneliness of black night vigils. There have been times when I have wept hot tears And tasted of their salt And drunk the dregs of sadness to the end. There have been times -- and then another's heartache, So deep and rending as to mock my own, Has cut, flamelike, across my blurring vision, Dwarfing my paltry tragedies to nought. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ALL THAT'S PAST by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE DARKNESS IS THINNING by GREGORY I A CELEBRATION OF CHARIS: 1.
