Owen Suffolk Joy Poems

  • 1.
    Hark to the bell of sorrow! - 'tis awak'ning up again
    Each broken spirit from its brief forgetfulness of pain.
    Its sad sound seems to me to be a deathwail from the past,
    An elegy for buried joys too pure and bright to last.
    ...
  • 2.
    Mother! Darling mother, you are seeking me I know,
    And I feel thy love will follow through the world where'er I go;
    But I cannot come, dear mother; I am sadly altered now:
    The once fair wreath of innocence that garlanded my brow

    ...

    Nor festive scenes of dazzling light;
    Nor of gorgeous pageant in palace hall
    Begemmed with many a coronal;
    ...
  • 8.
    To me the sky looks bluer,
    And the green grass greener still,
    And earth's flowers seem more lovely
    As they bloom on heath and hill.
