How Can You Hold Back Tears... Poem by Dorota Szumilas

How Can You Hold Back Tears...

Rating: 5.0


How can you hold back tears
How can you not be sad

How can you dull the aching heart
How will you find joy in your soul

Where will you put the clay pot
filled with your silent tears

How can you talk about the beauty of the world
if it won't come with us

No one can offer boundless caring
of the heart

How then can you be happy
Tell me my love

(transl. by Urszula Sledziewska)
