Bereft

Bereft,
As trees that suddenly have dropped their leaves.
—Jean Ingelow

Bereft as a man whom bitter time bereaves
Of blossom at once and hope of garnered sheaves,
Of April at once and August.
—Algernon Charles Swinburne

Bereft,
As when some tower doth fall,
With battlement, and wall,
And gate, and bridge, and all,
And nothing left.
—Mary A. Townsend
