How deftly somber songs bestill
A heart's own beating pulse,
And in its absence promptly fill
A deepened sense of loss.

I woke with joy's soft, sprightly kiss -
My sorrow a surprise -
To fall so sharp, so low, so quick,
With dust upon my eyes.
Some songs just evoke a certain sorrow, no matter how much you enjoy the sound. I think of life like that, too.

Yes. I think you captured that idea well here.
