A Reminiscence
dailydoseofverse:
Yes, thou art gone! and never more Thy sunny smile shall gladden me; But I may pass the old church door, And pace the floor that covers thee,
May stand upon the cold, damp stone, And think that, frozen, lies below The lightest heart that I have known, The kindest I shall ever know. Yet, though I cannot see thee more, ‘Tis still a comfort to have seen; And though thy transient...

symphonyofwolves:
Hope was but a timid friend; She sat without the grated den, Watching how my fate would tend, Even as selfish-hearted men. She was cruel in her fear; Through the bars, one dreary day, I looked out to see her there, And she turned her face away! Like a false guard, false watch keeping, Still, in strife, she whispered peace; She would sing while I was weeping; If I listened,...

The Old Stoic by Emily Bronte
rebirthandmeditation:
Riches I hold in light esteem, And love I laugh to scorn, And lust of fame was but a dream That vanished with the morn.
And if I pray, the only prayer That moves my lips for me Is, “Leave the heart that now I bear, And give me liberty!”
Yes, as my swift days near their goal, ‘Tis all that I implore - In life and death, a chainless soul, With courage to endure.

hollandparksweetie:
