Won't you help support DayPoems? ConsolationBy Elizabeth Barrett Browning1806-1861ALL are not taken; there are left behind Living Beloveds, tender looks to bring And make the daylight still a happy thing, And tender voices, to make soft the wind: But if it were not so--if I could find No love in all this world for comforting, Nor any path but hollowly did ring Where 'dust to dust' the love from life disjoin'd; And if, before those sepulchres unmoving I stood alone (as some forsaken lamb Goes bleating up the moors in weary dearth) Crying 'Where are ye, O my loved and loving?'-- I know a voice would sound, 'Daughter, I AM. Can I suffice for Heaven and not for earth?' DayPoems Poem No. 632 Comment on DayPoems? If you are like us, you have strong feelings about poetry, and about each poem you read. Let it all out!
