Sadness Is The Thing With Thorns
"Sadness" is the thing with thorns -
That pricks into the soul -
And gives the hug without the arms -
And never leaves the Noll -
And softly - in the Night - does carve -
And steel must be the shears -
That are able to prune the Barb
That drew, from many, tears -
I've felt it on the sweetest Rose -
And amid golden glee -
Yet, never, in Despairity,
It spared a part - of Me.
