Summary: Sorrow has much to answer for... We Call a Man Cold When He Is Only Sad

He was so solemn, so serious, so sad, so unsmiling;
something made her eager to coax just one smile,
and then only one seemed a small victory
in the light of his glad face.
But how could she have foreseen
her own smiles would fail
in the Mountain's shadow?
Her joy lost,
she faded
away.
