DOES the earth grow grey with grief <br />For her hero darling fled? <br />Though her vales let fall no leaf, <br />In our hearts her tears are shed. <br /> <br /> <br />Still the stars laugh on above: <br />Not to them her grief is said; <br />Mourning for her hero love <br />In our hearts the tears are shed. <br /> <br /> <br />We her children mourn for him, <br />Mourn the elder hero dead; <br />In the twilight grey and dim <br />In our hearts the tears are shed.<br /><br />George William Russell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-pain-of-earth/
