The Spring of Solace

Mrs. Kamala S. Dongerkery

BY (MRS.) KAMALA S. DONGERKERY

Deep in my heart’s unsounded well
Lies hid a gentle spring
Whose sparkling waters, fragrant, cool,
To silence love to cling.
I oft send golden fancies down
Its giddy depths to fill
With draughts from this perennial spring;
They come empty still!
No gold will tempt its waters pure:
From worldly touch they shrink,
But when my grief-parched eyes bend down
Its solace sweet to drink,
The spring leaps up with fountained joy:
Their limpid depths it fills,
And, easing pain, it drops again
In two refreshing rills.
