HEY ! One thing is true that can't be taken from (US):
We have 10 days left in National [Poetry] Month (US).
             ___________________________

Ever-so-often this month, I will post a lessor poem by a major poet or a major poem by a lessor poet, least either be forgotten. Aren't I nice?

YOUR TEARS

I DARE not ask your very all:
I only ask a part.
Bring me - when dancers leave the hall -
Your aching heart.

Give other friends your lighted face,
The laughter of the years:
I come to crave a greater grace -
Bring me your tears!
Edwin Markham
