The Heart Asleep
Within me now my heart's asleepAnd none shall wake it more;
The silence of all pain is deep
Within me. Now my heart's asleep,
It dreams of joys it might not keep;
And nothing looks before
Within me now. My heart's asleep
And none shall wake it more.
(The end)

Black winds of the world! There is pity in your breath, Against wild tempest weaponing. Grey clouds of the sky! You are gentle in your shade, Against night-darkness tempering. Red wounds of the heart! There is mercy in your blood, Against hope-murder hardening. Pale swoons of the soul! You are tender in your pangs Against dire death emboldening.(The end)Laurence Alma-Tadema's poem: Adversity

Now empty lies the house. The languid air Unstirred by voices creeps from room to room; No footstep falls upon the silent stair, All's still and dark. In every nook the tomb Of some thought lies; remembrance everywhere Lingers to seek a joy no longer there; And, as I sit here lonely in the gloom, I ask myself which evil I would choose: Never to have, or else to have, and lose.(The end)Laurence Alma-Tadema's poem: Solitude
