Wilfrid Scawen Blunt - To One In A GardenWilfrid Scawen Blunt - To One In A Garden
Work rating: Low


If I were other than, alas, I am, A soul in strife, whom banded foemen vex, If toil were folly and good deeds a sham, And hydra wrong had shed its serpent necks, And life`s dark problems could no more perplex, How sweet it were, forgotten of all blame, In that far garden which your summer decks To dream with you that grief was but a name. --Ay, dream! For waking which of us were wise To spell grief`s epitaph? Some tears must be Even in the herald hour of your sunrise. And in the night? Ah, child, what misery, Think you, awaits us when life`s flood--gates strain To the full deluge of the descending rain?
