O What Of Sorrow Poem by Valerie Dohren
O What Of Sorrow
O what of sorrow, I ask, what of sorrow
Stealing the heart as a thief in the night
Shall there be rapture, sweet joy for tomorrow
Will there be sunshine to honour my sight
Silent the music that graced all my hearing
No more the rainbow to colour the sky
Full is my mind with all sadness and fearing
Hope yet forsakes me, forever to cry
Where shall I look in the midst of despairing
Which way to set my faint eyes in the shade
How to see through all the veils that I`m wearing
Anguish and darkness forever to fade
O what of gladness, I ask, what of gladness
Touching the soul like a freshly bloomed rose
Shall it there `bide yet to quell all my sadness
Spreading its petals as sweetly it grows
Filled with its splendour, and thus outward reaching
Seeking forever to find its true course
Living my life then within its great teaching
Happy and joyous, and free of remorse
Then shall I see all the light full surrounding
Hear once again the sweet sound of the lark
No more to feel yet the heartache confounding
Follow the star leading out of the dark
