To Joy Poem by Valerie Dohren

To Joy

Rating: 5.0


O come when I am sleeping
And take me to your care
For I am spent with weeping
And yearn for regions fair

Pray glance upon my sorrow
Endow me with your grace
Bring forth a new tomorrow
Redeem my saddened face

Then fly me to your arbour
And hold me there awhile
A calm and sheltered harbour
Where I shall softly smile

Where I may ever tarry
Become again at peace
Upon the wind to carry
All heartache to release

O walk into this sadness
And take away the pain
Enfold my heart in gladness
That I should live again

A fine verse of resignation from dispair which belies its deft and easy rhyme. Let one day a sigh be done and with it all pain ended, but until such time know you are loved and universally befriended.

Very positive poem. O, wake me with your soft touch Come, propose to me with rose Fragrant the staleness of my life Take away all woes and sorrows
