A poem by Laurence Alma-Tadema

Adversity

________________________________________________
Title:     Adversity
Author: Laurence Alma-Tadema [More Titles by Alma-Tadema]

Black winds of the world!
There is pity in your breath,
Against wild tempest weaponing.

Grey clouds of the sky!
You are gentle in your shade,
Against night-darkness tempering.

Red wounds of the heart!
There is mercy in your blood,
Against hope-murder hardening.

Pale swoons of the soul!
You are tender in your pangs
Against dire death emboldening.





[The end]
Laurence Alma-Tadema's poem: Adversity
