Rain In My Heart

Topics: classic

There is a quiet in my heart         Like one who rests from days of pain.         Outside, the sparrows on the roof         Are chirping in the dripping rain.         Rain in my heart; rain on the roof;         And memory sleeps beneath the gray         And windless sky and brings no dreams         Of any well remembered day.         I would not have the heavens fair,         Nor golden clouds, nor breezes mild,         But days like this, until my heart         To loss of you is reconciled.         I would not see you. Every hope         To know you as you were has ranged.         I, who am altered, would not find         The face I loved so greatly changed.
