Sorrow
Sorrow

Sorrow hides behind a smile,
keeps no account of bygone wrongs,
takes no heed of present guile,
finds its ease in sad sweet songs.

Sorrow does not seek redress
for rights restrained or payment lost,
it bears with patience such excess
and reckons not with hurt or cost.

Sorrow sees with honest eyes
this fallen world and all its pains,
speaks not of blame and fault and lies,
waits only for release of chains.
