PAIN
PAINPain stayed so long I said to her today
'I will not have you with me anymore,'
I stamped my foot and said, 'Be Gone !,'
And paused there, startled at the look she wore,
'I who have been your teacher--all you know
Of understanding, love and sympathy, and patience, I have taught you, shall I
go?'
She spoke the turth, this strange unwelcome guest;
I watched her leave, and knew that she was wise.
She left a heart grown tender in my cheast.
She left a far clear vision in my eyes,
She left a heart wanting in love.
I dried my tears, and lifted up a song,
Even for one who'd tortured me so long.
