Katrina Trask Poems

Beyond the bourn of mortal death and birth,
Two lovers—parted sorrowing on earth—
...

Lo! in the depths of the sky
Glimmers a tremulous Star,
I watch it from afar
...

Heaven is mirrored, Love, deep in thine eyes,
Soft falls its shimmering light upon thy face;
Tell me, Beloved, is this Paradise,
...

The sky was one unbroken pall of gray,
Casting a gloom upon the restless sea,
Dulling her sapphire splendour to a dark
...

O power of Love, O wondrous mystery!
How is my dark illumined by thy light,
That maketh morning of my gloomy night,
...

O thorn-crowned Sorrow, pitiless and stern,
I sit alone with broken heart, my head
Low bowed, keeping long vigil with my dead.
...
