Sorrow and Sadness (1)

How great my grief, my joys how few,
Since first it was my fate to know thee!
Have the slow years not brought to view
How great my grief, my joys how few,
-- Thomas Hardy. How Great My Grief.

If I should meet thee
After long years,
How should I greet thee?
With silence and tears.
-- George Gordon Byron. When We Two Parted.
