Sequestered deep in mystic realms <br />`Midst all the stars in full display <br />Encircled there by misty souls <br />I heard her sad soliloquy <br /> <br />Sweet Angeline in heav`n did weep <br />Her tears upon the world were spilled <br />Lamenting as one lost in dreams <br />Of dreams yet dreamed but unfulfilled <br /> <br />Those tears, they fell so like the rain, <br />As gentle snowflakes drifting by - <br />With broken heart, as shattered glass, <br />So like a nursling she did cry <br /> <br />She spoke of love she barely knew <br />That precious love, elysian kind, <br />That all her heart would so enchant <br />Yet all her life she sought to find <br /> <br />She looked in woodlands void of light <br />Beneath the darkened moonlit sky <br />In cloistered caves and valleys deep <br />In dusky glens she wandered by <br /> <br />With hope she searched in twilight`s gloom <br />In shaded arbours strung with vine <br />She cried as one in sorrow deep <br />(I heard her weep tnroughout all time) <br /> <br />Yet never once to glance above <br />Towards the sun, with brighter glow, <br />Nor seek to find her heart`s delight <br />In places high not set below <br /> <br />Sweet Angeline in heav`n did weep <br />In sadness ne`er to feel nor find <br />The love that she so yearned to know <br />In dusty hollows of her mind<br /><br />Valerie Dohren<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sweet-angeline-in-heav-n-did-weep/
