Of doubt that curve and break and evermore repeat

The weary lesson of life incomplete,

Moaning and groping in unsunny caves,

Beating against a rock that will not break,

Flinging their bitter anger far on high,

Seeking to chill the tender flowers that lie

Close nestled to the rock for its warmth’s sake,

I kept sad feast one doubting April day,

When robins’ song had drifted from the hills,

When buds were bursting, and the golden bells
