What Weeping Face Poem by Walt Whitman

What Weeping Face

Rating: ★2.8


WHAT weeping face is that looking from the window?
Why does it stream those sorrowful tears?
Is it for some burial place, vast and dry?
Is it to wet the soil of graves?

Small and profound! Quite unlike Whitman's usual long poems!
