Sad Cypress Poem by koyel mitra

Sad Cypress

Rating: 4.9


Look at that cypress with its branches drooping,
in it woe and lament are trooping;
Its foliage is painted a yellow melancholy,
Its spirits are trying to whisper something holy;
Its burden is not at all light,
in it dwells a penitent sprite;
to express her sins in tears,
so that no one but God hears!

Autumn started and so one reads this poem before 'Spring'. Truthfulness of inspiration in these melodious lines. I recall some of the French symbolists, and an Italian poem by Giosuè Carducci, 'In Front of St. Guy's Church'.

the beauty i can see but i cudnt decipher some words which are anew for me. so will revisit a couple of times. let its truest essence settle down in me. yet, the beauty of writing in short is awesome.
