So well writter about the lone journey. Every word has to speak and describe the minute emotions it holds within itself. Lovely and beautiful.

Poignantly beautiful. A reader can feel the anguish and sentiment in this poem.

at castle wood the lonely mind feels the around amazingly; superb poetic expression

The pathetic state of mind of a person in depression skillfully portrayed and it's quite touching.

Life's hard task...... thanks for posting.......

Verse drenched with overwhelming gloom.

this is smoothly written- in its rhyme and meter. if she's writing about herself, i don't know her life to understand But I was bred the mate of care, The foster-child of sore distress. It strikes me, though, that the overcast sky that broods over this poem is so characteristic of what went for literature in the late 19th and early 20th century, and that the brownings in poetry were an exception to this. gk

a very sad poem of accepting ones fate with no light at the end of the tunnel? .................sorrowfully penned.

The day is done! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

The poem reflects the state of mind when in despair. Very poignant portrayal. Thanks. No star will light my coming night; No morn of hope for me will shine;
