Poems (Radford)/Speedwells

​
Speedwells
I came to lay my sorrow in the wood, It had so heavy grown,And on my way the little speedwells stood, And claimed it for their own.
I came to let my tears in anguish fall, They were too great to bear,And now the little speedwells hold them all, I have no tears to spare.
There is no other sign, by flower or leaf, To mark the road I came;This tiny cup of blue bears all the grief I had not strength to name.
