The Folly Of Being Comforted

NE that is ever kind said yesterday:"Your well-beloved's hair has threads of grey,

And little shadows come about her eyes;

Time can but make it easier to be

Though now it seems impossible, and

All that you need is patience."Heart cries, "No,

I have not a crumb of comfort, not a grain.

Time can but make her beauty over again:

Because of that great nobleness of

The fire that stirs about her, when she stirs,

Burns but more clearly.  O she had not these

When all the wild Summer was in her gaze." Heart!

O heart! if she'd but turn her head,

You'd know the folly of being comforted.
