Sorrow

Sorrow is in the eye magnified,
In heart consoled, in hope defied:
When framed in words
It gives new spirit and new blood;
It becomes sublime art
That in divine mood vibrates the heart.

A. Emiko     United Kingdom
I think the poem is too simple for me to explain what I understand, I think it is too short to bore any reader, I think it will dent the beauty should I direct anyone to my comment. Just read it, read Sorrow. Read the words.
