Sorry Her Lot.

Topics: classic

Sorry her lot who loves too well,     Heavy the heart that hopes but vainly,     Had are the sighs that own the spell     Uttered by eyes that speak too plainly;     Heavy the sorrow that bows the head     When Love is alive and Hope is dead!     Sad is the hour when sets the Sun     Dark is the night to Earth's poor daughters     When to the ark the wearied one     Flies from the empty waste of waters!     Heavy the sorrow that bows the head     When Love is alive and Hope is dead!
