Ella Wheeler Wilcox (Элла Уилкокс) Sonnets of Sorrow. 16. Oh, to wake once again with that old joy Oh, to wake once again with that old joy, That consciousness of angels hovering near! Oh, for a shaft of light that would destroy This dark despondency, this nameless fear! My radiant thought had never given form Or substance to those two unbidden things; Yet in that night of devastating storm, Bat-like they came on black and brooding wings. My mind has lost its optimistic course And sunk in quicksands of despair and gloom, Nor have my wildest prayers the drawing force To lift me back to sunlight and to bloom. Oh, Everlasting Arms, reach out, reach out, Before I sink in madness, or in doubt! Ella Wheeler Wilcox's other poems: Распечатать (Print) Количество обращений к стихотворению: 1320 |
