Enigma

It would be easy to forgive,
If I could but remember;
If I could hear, lost love of mine,
The music of your cruelties,
Shaking to sound the silent skies,
Could voice with them their song divine,
Red with pain’s leaping ember:
It would be easy to forgive,
If I could but remember.

It would be easy to forget,
If I could find lost Sorrow;
If I could kiss her plaintive face,
And break with her, her bitter bread,
Could share again her woeful bed,
And know with tears her pale embrace,
Make yesterday, to-morrow:
It would be easy to forget,
If I could find lost Sorrow.
