Be not sad because all men
Prefer a lying clamour before you:
Sweetheart, be at peace again -- -
Can they dishonour you?
They are sadder than all tears;
Their lives ascend as a continual sigh.
Proudly answer to their tears:
As they deny, deny.

Bit surprised that JJ produced such a weak poem. Must be early work, juvenilia.
Great rhyme and message, I gave you five stars, wonderfully penned.
They are sadder than all tears; Their lives ascend as a continual sigh. Proudly answer to their tears: As they deny, deny. Emotional turbulance. tony
