English poem
Life's Burying-Ground.
by Rose Hawthorne Lathrop (1851–1926)
My graveyard holds no once-loved human forms, Grown hideous and forgotten, left alone, But every agony my heart has known,— The new-born trusts that died, the drift of storms. I visit every day the shadowy grove; I bury there my outraged tender thought; I bring the insult for the love I sought, And my contempt, where I had tried to love.
