V. A Litany | | By Rosa Newmarch (1857–1940) |
| | | O LIGHTS that break from fickle April skies, | |
| Let me forget those grey, inconstant eyes. | |
| |
| O raindrops glittering when the shower clears, | |
| Let me forget my swift and burning tears. | |
| |
| O wind that cries through wastes untenanted, | 5 |
| Let me forget the bitter things were said. | |
| |
| O sea that woos the cold, white rock in vain, | |
| Let me forget the past with all its pain. | |
| |
| O mother earth, warm with spring showers, and wet, | |
| Give me a place wherein I may forget. | 10 | | | |
