THE LOST HEART, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Is there a lost child crying in the night
Last Line: Is my heart lost and crying to your heart.
Subject(s): Hearts


Is there a lost child crying in the night
And wandering through mists that never lift?
Nay, this is nothing, nothing: close your bright
Desirous eyes and into slumber drift.

It is not any child beneath dull skies
That cries and wanders in a place apart. . . .
This thing that 'troubles you and wakes your eyes
Is my heart lost and crying to your heart.
