Memories

Memories

That time of the year
Shall not be forgotten
That painful tale
Shall remain forever
The heart-rending aches
The piercing sighs
Shall make the earth shake
And shall make the dead wake
My eyes tell my tale
My heart all the time wails
The scaring pain
Shall be endured
With the face so pale
With eyes so wet
With the mind so disturbed
And with the heart so gloomy!
