Our Sorrow

Alva N. Turner

YOUR sorrow died,

And you buried it;

And then you dried

Your tears

As you went your way

Forgetting it:

While mine lives through the years.

Men understood your sorrow

Because it died,

And pitied your tears,

Which you have dried;

But they leer at my sorrow

And sneer,

Because it lives through the years.
