On a Late Connubial Rupture in High Life [Prince and Princess of Wales]. [MS _Letter_, July 4, 1796]

by Sara Teasdale · 1796 · Loss & Grief
When royal hearts, in discord harsh, do break,
And scenes of strife, do mar the public gaze,
Oh, may our pity, for their sorrows wake,
And turn our thoughts, to better, brighter days.
