WEEP not! tears must vainly fall, Though they fall like rain: Sorrow's flood shall not recall Love's dear life again. Vain thy tears, Vain thy sobs; As vain heart-throbs Of lonely years Since thou Love hast slain. Sigh not! As a passed wind Is but sought in vain, Sighs nor groans may not unbind Death's unbroken chain. Sighs and tears Nought avail, Nor cheeks grown pale In lonely years. Love comes not again. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE FIRST THANKSGIVING DAY [1621] by MARGARET JUNKIN PRESTON SATIRE: 3.
