Alfred Austin - A Meeting
Work rating: Low

Queen, widowed Mother of a widowed child,
 Whose ancient sorrow goeth forth to meet
 Her new—born sorrow with parental feet,
 And tearful eyes that oft on hers have smiled,
 Will not your generous heart be now beguiled
 From its too lonely anguish, as You greet
 Her anguish, yet more cruel and complete,
 And, through her woe, with woe be reconciled?
 Or if this may not be, and all the years
 Of love`s bereavement be withal too brief
 To bring slow solace to still lengthening grief
 For loss of One whom distance but endears,
 Surely to Both will come some sad relief,
 Sharing the comfort of commingled tears.
