At Weeping Face

At Weeping Face - meaning Summary

Questioning Grief at a Window

The speaker addresses a weeping face at a window and asks why it sheds sorrowful tears. The short poem registers puzzlement and empathy as the speaker offers possible reasons—mourning a burial place or moistening graves—without resolving the cause. It frames private grief as visible and communal, inviting readers to consider how individual sorrow connects to collective loss and how a single image can evoke broader questions about mourning and memory.
