Untitled
by Fernando Pessoa
What grieves me is not
What lies within the heart,
But those things of beauty
Which never can be . . .
They are the shapeless shapes
Which pass, though sorrow
Cannot know them
Nor love dream them.
They are as though sadness
Were a tree and, one by one,
Its leaves were to fall
Half outlined in the mist.
