Regret And Remorse

Title:     Regret And Remorse
Author: Ella Wheeler Wilcox [More Titles by Wilcox]

Regret with streaming eyes doth seem alway
A maiden widowed on her wedding day.

While dark Remorse, with eyes too sad for tears,
A crushed, desponding Magdalene appears.

One, with a hungering heart unsatisfied,
Mourns for imagined joys that were denied.

The other, pierced by recollected sin,
Broods o'er the scars of pleasures that have been.

[The end]
Ella Wheeler Wilcox's poem: Regret And Remorse
