Whilst Thou Lie Sleeping
By T.R.Hart
Though winter’s frost claim the Earth
And darkness cloak the light of day
Neither fear nor pain will trouble thee
Whilst thou lie sleeping
The withered flora lay in beds
Where in our youth we did play
And frolic with hearts full of glee
Never more…
Whilst thou lie sleeping
Cruel, the hand that took from me
The love the Lord bestowed with thee
I wait, till them, with sighs and weeping
Whilst thou lie sleeping
In my breast with heart a’ broken
Yearning for thou yet awoken
And wish to embrace once again
When together… shall lie sleeping
Whilst Thou Lie Sleeping(T.R. Hart)

04/10/2020A moving poem. I like the refrain and the use of couplets and assonance which add to the feeling of the piece.
Thank you. Jane
