consolation


O but there is wisdom
In what the sages said;
But stretch that body for a while
And lay down that head
Till I have told the sages
Where man is comforted.

How could passion run so deep
Had I never thought
That the crime of being born
Blackens all our lot?
But where the crime's committed
The crime can be forgot.

  1. Thanx for continuing to post. Having children and having worked for 30 years with young children, I am still unable to clear my mind long enough to post.
