FAMILY STRIFE, by BONNIE DAY First Line: There was one who called her wife Last Line: The fabric of her heart. | |||
There was one who called her wife; One, who called her mother. Each laid hands upon her life And pulled against the other. Neither one would ease the strain Lest he should lose his part. Hands that loved her, rent in twain The fabric of her heart. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TRANSLUCENT FINGERS by MALCOLM COWLEY I AM BORNE ONWARD by SARA TEASDALE THE LAND OF HEART'S DESIRE by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS AN ANSWER TO THE PARSON by WILLIAM BLAKE IN THIS AGE OF HARD TRYING, NONCHALANCE IS GOOD AND by MARIANNE MOORE OF BENEVOLENCE: AN EPISTLE TO EUMENES by JOHN ARMSTRONG CLOUDS by EDUARD VON BAUERNFELD |
