WISDOM, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: How can I measure your sorrow
Last Line: Your lonely heart fears.
Alternate Author Name(s): Radford, Ernest, Mrs.


HOW can I measure your sorrow,
How do I know
The weight of to-day and to-morrow,
Of days long ago,
The grief, and the burden to follow,
That speech may not show?

Deep in my heart is the measure,
Laid by the years,
To fathom, beneath all your pleasure,
The flood of your tears,
To mark all the desolate leisure
Your lonely heart fears.
