Elizabeth Barrett Browning - ConsolationElizabeth Barrett Browning - Consolation
Work rating: Low


All are not taken; there are left behind    Living Belovèds, tender looks to bring    And make the daylight still a happy thing,   And tender voices, to make soft the wind:   But if it were not so—if I could find            No love in all this world for comforting,    Nor any path but hollowly did ring   Where `dust to dust` the love from life disjoin`d;   And if, before those sepulchres unmoving    I stood alone (as some forsaken lamb     Goes bleating up the moors in weary dearth)   Crying `Where are ye, O my loved and loving?`—    I know a voice would sound, `Daughter, I AM.   Can I suffice for Heaven and not for earth?`
