My Holocaust Project

The Poems I Found

"Frozen Moments" by Daniel Richards

As I sit here, seperated but together

Drowning behind the embers of bridges broken of old

Thinking of all the good thing and bad thing I've done

And they confirm suspisions

"Passion" by Charlotte Bronte

Tell me, if with wandering bands

I roam full far away,

Wilt thou, to those distant lands,

In spirit ever stray?
