Alexander Search – When the Lamp is Broken…

[BNP/E3, 78 – 26]

 

Meaning.

 

When the Lamp is Broken...

 

When the lamp is broken and the shaking

     Light is for ever fled,

There is more memory of its breaking

     Than of the light it shed.

This may common be, but 'tis not glad;

It means many things and all are sad.

 

Alexander Search
