Some Verses: Poems: LITTLE SAD FACE

Little sad face, come close, so close to mine, / See through these eyes the sweetness of the day, / Feel how the sunbeams dance in Summer's wine, / Hold fast my hands and let our pulse combine / And with my steps dance down the happy way; / For youth is love and love is light and gay, / Little sad face.

Little sad heart, come close, so close to mine, / And know the utmost limits of the will / Of all the worlds, till soft thy heart divine / A joy which can encompass grief like thine; / Hide in my breast, and let faint pulses thrill, / For youth is love, and love is great and still, / Little sad heart.

Little sad soul, which ne'er can come to mine, / So great in loneliness of grey despair, / There is not one whose spirit may entwine / With thee -- the world looks on without a sign; / Go -- hide thy face within thy tossing hair, / Thyself veil close with smiles, for none will care, / Little sad soul.
