The Somber Reminiscence

Woe received from feelings passed
Of memories thought asleep at last
They haunt the ever wakened state
And for the dreams, they lie in wait

‘Tis but a word that can stir
The clearer image from a blur
To a full blown reality of a thought
That was once what love had brought.
