English poem
The Scar Indelible
by Laurence Alma-Tadema (1865–1940)
O your voice, your voice in the night! How shall I wipe your voice from the night? Only Hope could wipe it away— And you have driven Hope away.
O your eyes, your eyes in my sight! How shall I hide your eyes from my sight? Only Joy could hide them away, And you have driven Joy away.
O your name, your name in the light! How shall I thrust your name from the light? Only Love could thrust it away, And you have driven Love away.
