As yet Thy Griefs Have Been but Summer Showers
Amelia Alderson Opie
1769 to 1853
As yet thy griefs have been but summer showers,
Thy greatest ills but crumpled leaves of flowers;
Still, tho' thus blest thy former hours have been,
Thy happiest days, I trust, thou hast not seen,
But still more blest, as runs the sand of life,
Than child or sister was, will be the wife.
