RECOMPENSE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: ROSES AFTER RAIN
Last Line: IN THE HEART'S TWILIGHT!
Subject(s): CONSOLATION;

Roses after rain,
Pleasure after pain,
Happiness will soothe the sigh,
Smiles await the tear-dimmed eye—
Bloom will follow blight,
Daylight trails the night.
Life is sweeter
Love is deeper
In the heart's twilight!
