I HAVE SOUGHT...., by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: I have sought thirty years, my sisters
Last Line: Seek as I have done. . . .
Subject(s): Hearts; Sisters; Wandering & Wanderers


I HAVE sought thirty years, my sisters,
Where he hid I sought;
I have walked thirty years, my sisters,
I have found him not.

I have walked thirty years, my sisters,
Weary my footfall;
He is everywhere, my sisters,
And is not at all.

The hour is growing sad, my sisters,
Take my shoes and part;
For as evening wanes, my sisters,
I am sick at heart. . . .

You are very young, my sisters,
Wander on and on;
Take my pilgrim's staff, my sisters,
Seek as I have done. . . .
