Impressions: A Book of Verse/Sympathy

by Lilla Cabot Perry

 

SYMPATHY

IF all my heart cries out to you
⁠My lips could say,
To your sad heart with comfort true
⁠'T would find a way.

But love's each heart-throb holds far more
⁠Than words can tell:
Silent I stood before your door,
⁠Tears silent fell.
