Perhaps by Vera Brittain

Vera Brittain's war poem expresses her hope that one day she will find happiness again, even though she has lost someone dear to her. She longs for the beauty of nature and the joyous moments that she used to share with her loved one. Despite the possibility of finding some joy in the future, she believes that her heart will always be broken because of her loss. Perhaps, a war poem by Vera Brittain Perhaps some day the sun will shine again And I shall see that still the skies are blue And feel once more I do not live in vain or low bereft of you Perhaps the golden meadows at my feet will make the sunny hours of spring seem gay And I shall find the white May blossoms sweet though you have passed away Perhaps the summer woods will shimmer bright And crimson roses once again be fair And autumn harvest fields a rich delight Although you are not there Perhaps some day I shall not shrink in pain To see the passing of the dying year And listen to Christmas songs again Although you cannot hear But, though kind times may many joys renew There is one greatest joy I shall not know again Because my heart for loss of you was broken long ago
