ATONEMENT, by JOSEPH LANGLAND Poet's Biography First Line: There is a newer beauty that is born Last Line: Itself around the sorrow of the years. | |||
There is a newer beauty that is born When bitterness has laid her strong duress Upon the soul, when every hope is shorn Of light sustaining wings of eagerness. There is a deeper wisdom that will grow When death has stilled a dear beloved heart, And left a bitter brimming cup of woe To fill the loneliness of one apart. There is a wondrous peace that will enfold When one has known the depth of pain and tears; There is a rich contentment that will mold Itself around the sorrow of the years. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE ABSTINENT LOVER by ABUL BAHR MOUNTAIN STORM by FRANCES DAVIS ADAMS LET NO BIRD SING by VERNE TAYLOR BENEDICT QUEEN ANNELIDA AND FALSE ARCITE by GEOFFREY CHAUCER |
