RAIN IN MY HEART
16 lines✦
here is a quiet in my heartLike one who rests from days of pain.Outside, the sparrows on the roofAre chirping in the dripping rain. Rain in my heart; rain on the roof;And memory sleeps beneath the grayAnd windless sky and brings no dreamsOf any well remembered day. I would not have the heavens fair,Nor golden clouds, nor breezes mild,But days like this, until my heartTo loss of you is reconciled. I would not see you. Every hopeTo know you as you were has ranged.I, who am altered, would not findThe face I loved so greatly changed.
