Keola - Terza Rima
Robert Browning quote
AH, when the season's cycle slows
To BUT a fragile arid creek
Where time becomes A waning glow
When all a MAN'S last tears can seek
A comfort he cannot quite REACH
He SHOULD release his pride for meek
Repentance to EXCEED his speech
And listen with HIS softer ear
To GRASP what skies and oceans teach
A blank dawn - he must rise, OR fear
WHAT'S hidden within wells of cold
Heavy rain in A day too near
HEAVEN is as close as the gold
Light FOR souls crossing the threshold
