English poem

The sunbeams they come--but they melt not my sadness

by (1865–1904)

Listen in the reader

The sunbeams they come—but they melt not my sadness; The bright buds they ope—but they mock with their bloom; For, ah! the next time that they bloom in their gladness, They’ll bloom but to fade on my desolate tomb.
