Has met them in my hands more fatally
Because more warmly clasped,--and sobs are free
To come instead of songs.
(Irreparableness)
More Quotes from Elizabeth Barrett Browning:
Do you hear the children weeping and disproving,O my brothers, what ye preach?
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Still, all day, the iron wheels go onward,
Grinding life down from its mark;
And the children's souls, which God is calling sunward,
Spin on blindly in the dark.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning
But only three in all God's universe
Have heard this word thou hast said,--Himself, beside
Thee speaking, and me listening!
Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Or I, who makes me sad?
