WAR IS KIND: 32, by                 Poet Analysis    
First Line: Tell me why, behind thee
Last Line: Always between me and my peace.


TELL me why, behind thee,
I see always the shadow of another lover?
Is it real
Or is this the thrice-damned memory of a better happiness?
Plague on him if he be dead
Plague on him if he be alive
A swinish numbskull
To intrude his shade
Always between me and my peace.
