Dorothy
By Rose Hawthorne Lathrop (Mother Alphonsa) (18511926)[From Along the Shore. 1888.]
D
I have wandered world-wide, from shore to shore,
I have seen as great beauties as ever were wed;
But none can console me for Dorothy dead.
That her face is less real than the faces of dreams;
That the love which kept true, and the lips which so spoke,
Are more lost than my heart, which died not when it broke!
