THE OLD WOMEN
BY
JOSEPH CAMPBELL
As a white candle
In a holy place
So is the beauty
Of an aged face.
As the spent radiance
Of the winter sun
So is a women
With her travail done.
Her brood gone from her
And her thoughts as still
As the waters
Under a ruined mill.
Theme
The theme of the poem is the " laborious life" of a women. Her children go away from her and she leads a life of solitude.
