letra de my comforter - emma topping

Loading...

well hast thou spoken, and yet, not taught
a feeling strange or new;
thou hast but roused a latent thought
a cloud-closed beam of sunshine, brought
to gleam in open view

deep down, concealed within my soul
that light lies hid from men;
yet, glows unquenched-though shadows roll
its gentle ray cannot control
about the sullen den

was i not vexed, in these gloomy ways
to walk alone so long?
around me, wretches uttering praise
or howling o’er their hopeless days
and each with frenzy’s tongue;-

a brothеrhood of misery
their smiles as sad as sighs;
whosе madness daily maddened me
distorting into agony
the bliss before my eyes!

so stood i, in heaven’s glorious sun
and in the glare of h-ll;
my spirit drank a mingled tone
of seraph’s song, and demon’s moan;
what my soul bore, my soul alone
within itself may tell!
like a soft air, above a sea
tossed by the tempest’s stir;
a thaw-wind, melting quietly
the snow-drift, on some wintry lea;
no: what sweet thing resembles thee
my thoughtful comforter?

and yet a little longer speak
calm this resentful mood;
and while the savage heart grows meek
for other token do not seek
but let the tear upon my cheek
evince my gratitude!
