PAST SORROWS. - ZaunköniG - 15.07.2007 PAST SORROWS. As tangled driftwood barring up a stream Against our struggling oars when hope is high To reach some fair green island we descry Lying beyond us in the morning's gleam, And shimmering like a landscape in a dream — Yet waiting patiently the logs float by, And all our course lies open to the eye — So sorrows come and go. What though they seem A blight whose touch might turn a young head gray, Joy dawns again. Hope beckons us before. The tide that pressed against us breaks our bars; The visionary islands smile once more. Life, with its rest by night, its work by day, Forgets the old griefs, and heals their deepest scars. |
