The Willow Weeps Poem by Valerie Dohren
The Willow Weeps
I sat beneath the Willow tree
And cried in sad lament -
The Willow wept because I wept;
Despaired and discontent
I lay upon the clovered grass
Enwrapped in fresh, sweet air -
The Willow wept, oh how she wept
To see me lying there
Her tears dripped down from branch and leaf
Then touched the moistened ground -
The Willow wept, because I wept
As there I sobbed and frowned
My love, my love has gone away
And never to return -
The Willow wept, oh how she wept;
With me, to ever yearn
She touched my face with gentle sway
Of boughs that bended low -
And then she wept, because I wept;
Why did you have to go?
My love, my love has left me now
And I am so alone -
The Willow wept, oh how she wept;
Then watched me turn to stone
And now the clover ‘round me grows
Beneath the azure sky -
The Willow weeps, because I wept;
Forever here to lie
The sun shall burn upon this stone
Yet cold I’ll always stay -
The Willow weeps, oh how she weeps,
For here I lie today
It's a sad piece but at the same time it gives me a nice feeling from reading it.
absolutely another beautiful and lovely poem..such a magical dimension you have created here..so lovely! _Soul
A poet peeps into places where light can not venture. That is true with this poem. Thanks a lot for this treat.
This is a wonderful poem very descriptive, and wonderfully well written! !
Wow! This is a beautiful poem, a work of art. Rhymes and flows effortlessly. A pleasure to read.
Another beautifully creative write. I had a Willow tree in my backyard when I was a kid and I remember crying because my parents told me that if us four girls wanted a swimming pool put in then the Willow tree had to go.....so the Willow tree went but I'm proud to say I was the only hold out! I just loved lying under that tree so much! Your poem has brought back some cherished memories for me! Thanks for another gorgeous poem!

A sad tone beautifully written and finely set. I thoroughly enjoyed reading. I'm drawn to this composition, and especially feel the spirit of it, for I have written one much akin to it, though I haven't had the opportunity to post it as of yet. Good job Val.
