Poëzy

J.P. Hasebroek

5.

‘Thou hast regret and sorrows?’ From our birth, We have them all. If dusky cells should hold Each suffering sheep of this unhappy fold, We were to make a cloister of our earth. Our name is fellow-sufferers till our death. Those walls bestow no comfort; do not feign! The token of thine order sooth's no pain; It decks thy heart, but still 't will break beneath.
