Lost Mother, A -27

How huge is man's long-historied grief!
Aye, even in days ere history was begun
Death stabbed some mother, and her son
Mourning as I mourn, found as small relief.

In some vague land forgotten of light,
Buried beneath the weight of endless years,
The same cry pierced the night—
“ Mother! ” Who heard? Who hears?
