Rosa Newmarch (1857–1940)

O LIGHTS that break from fickle April skies,

Let me forget those grey, inconstant eyes.

O raindrops glittering when the shower clears,

Let me forget my swift and burning tears.

O wind that cries through wastes untenanted,

Let me forget the bitter things were said.

O sea that woos the cold, white rock in vain,

Let me forget the past with all its pain.

O mother earth, warm with spring showers, and wet,

Give me a place wherein I may forget.
