THE VOICE OF THE VOID, by GEORGE PARSONS LATHROP Poet's Biography First Line: I warn, like the one drop of rain Last Line: For I am death! | |||
I WARN, like the one drop of rain On your face, ere the storm; Or tremble in whispered refrain With your blood, beating warm. I am the presence that ever Baffles your touch's endeavor, -- Gone like the glimmer of dust Dispersed by a gust. I am the absence that taunts you, The fancy that haunts you; The ever unsatisfied guess That, questioning emptiness, Wins a sigh for reply. Nay, nothing am I, But the flight of a breath -- For I am Death! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MARTHY VIRGINIA'S HAND [SEPTEMBER 17, 1862] by GEORGE PARSONS LATHROP BRIDE BROOK by GEORGE PARSONS LATHROP FAIRHAVEN BAY by GEORGE PARSONS LATHROP NIGHT IN NEW YORK by GEORGE PARSONS LATHROP REMEMBRANCE by GEORGE PARSONS LATHROP SOUTH-WIND by GEORGE PARSONS LATHROP THE CHILD'S WISH GRANTED by GEORGE PARSONS LATHROP THE FLOWN SOUL by GEORGE PARSONS LATHROP THE NAME OF WASHINGTON by GEORGE PARSONS LATHROP JAWEH AND ALLAH BATTLE by ALLEN GINSBERG |
