Lesbia Harford

Here you will find the Poem I was sad of poet Lesbia Harford

I was sad

I was sad 
Having signed up in a rebel band, 
Having signed up to rid the land 
Of a plague it had. 
For I knew 
That I would suffer, I would be lost, 
Be bitter and foolish and tempest tost 
And a failure too. 
I was sad; 
Though far in the future our light would shine 
For the present the dark was ours, was mine, 
I couldn't be glad.
