Despair ~Loneliness in the Crowd!

Author: Unknown

Desolation of Old Age!

Oh! Howl the wolf and set me free

For in this wilderness must I ever be?

Like a raving hapless living soul, I am alone and I grow old

Roving, growing old, tis in the night oh! very cold

I have roamed and lived my life, ever thinking,
of my departed wife

The earth to taste it goodness for what it’s worth

But now happiness alludes me on this earth

Home is sadness to despair, as there’s is no one left,
lovingly, someone to share

In the night time when I go to bed, Oh this happening,
how this I dread, a feeling of the lone, the walking dead

But then the day and sunshine shines through
And I think of the love we had when we were two!

Petty not or wept for me, for someday the earth will set me free!

About this poem:

Hmm! What can I say!
Wept not for the day.

Life is not that bad, dear Sir, just the other way round. It is made of Past, Present and Future. What would it be without sweet memories of the past?! Life is a stream flowing into the river of present on its way to future - to "A sea beneath a cloudless sun." The moment you start remembering the past in your own words "... the day and sunshine shines through ...". To this cheerful note I have nothing to add, except for this little poem:

Past, Present, Future

by Emily Brontë

Tell me, tell me, smiling child,
What the past is like to thee ?
'An Autumn evening soft and mild
With a wind that sighs mournfully.’

Tell me, what is the present hour ?
'A green and flowery spray
Where a young bird sits gathering its power
To mount and fly away.’

And what is the future, happy one ?
'A sea beneath a cloudless sun ;
A mighty, glorious, dazzling sea
Stretching into infinity.’
