A Mood
The Sisters' Tragedy
A blight, a gloom, I know not what, has crept upon my
gladness--
Some vague, remote ancestral touch of sorrow, or of
madness;
A fear that is not fear, a pain that has not pain's
insistence;
A sense of longing, or of loss, in some foregone
existence;
A subtle hurt that never pen has writ nor tongue has
spoken--
Such hurt perchance as Nature feels when a blossomed
bough is broken.
