From “The Sea and the Mirror”
The nightingales are sobbing in
The orchards of our mothers,
And hearts that we broke long ago
Have long been breaking others;
Tears are round, the sea is deep:
Roll them overboard and sleep.
– W.H. Auden
Sheikha says:
And hearts that we broke long ago
Have long been breaking others;
*Sigh*
