XXVIII
Since I feel all your grief
Can I no comfort give?
My heart breaks at a word
For fear that I may grieve.

The silence of my love—
Since I feel all your grief—
Leans over you to tell
How I know, past belief.

O that my heart were cool!
That is a fire instead;
For since I feel your grief
My hand shakes on your head.

Yet though my hands are hot
And restless as a leaf,
More comfort I can bring
Because I know your grief.
