First Line: Wind and hail and veering rain
Last Line: Even pain denied to me.
Alternate Author Name(s): Filsinger, Ernest B., Mrs.


WIND and hail and veering rain,
Driven mist that veils the day,
Soul's distress and body's pain,
I would bear you while I may.

I would love you if I might,
For so soon my life will be
Buried in a lasting night,
Even pain denied to me.
