LIFE'S BURYING-GROUND.

Rose Hawthorne Lathrop

My graveyard holds no once-loved human forms, Grown hideous and forgotten, left alone, But every agony my heart has known,— The new-born trusts that died, the drift of storms.

I visit every day the shadowy grove; I bury there my outraged tender thought; I bring the insult for the love I sought, And my contempt, where I had tried to love.
