Poetry by Rose O'Neale Greenhow
PRESENTIMENTS
There is a
feeling of the heart
A dreary sense
of coming evil
That bids all
mirthful thoughts depart
And sends
enjoyement to the d---l
A cloud that
bodes the coming storm
And partly
wraps the heart in sorrow
And bids our
feelings bright and warm
Prepare a
shroud upon the morrow
When all is
sunshine to the soul
It turns its
brightest hour to sadness
And grief with
misty clouds will roll
Above the
sunniest scenes of sadness
