The Unknowing Poem by Theodosia Garrison

The Unknowing



They do not know the awful tears we shed,
The tender treasures that we keep and kiss;
They could not be so still—our quiet dead
In knowing this.

They do not know what time we turn to fill
Love's empty chalice with a cheaper bliss;
They could not be so still — so very still
In knowing this.
