Joseph Campbell,
The Old Woman

 
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 woman
With her travail done.
 
Her brood gone from her,
And her thoughts as still
As the waters
Under a ruined mill.
 
Author of this English poem is Joseph
Campbell (*1904-03-26 - †1987-10-30).
