SONG: 49, by THOMAS WYATT Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: If with complaint the pain might be expressed Last Line: Since if ye list ye may my woe restrain? Alternate Author Name(s): Wyat, Thomas Subject(s): Hearts; Love; Pain; Suffering; Misery | ||||||||
If with complaint the pain might be expressed That inwardly doth cause me sigh and groan, Your hard heart and your cruel breast Should sigh and plain for my unrest; And though it were of stone Yet should remorse cause it relent and moan. But since it is so far out of measure That with my words I can it not contain, My overly trust, my heart's treasure, Alas, why do I still endure This restless smart and pain, Since if ye list ye may my woe restrain? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PARTHENOPHIL AND PARTHENOPHE: MADRIGAL 14 by BARNABE BARNES SONNETS IN SHADOWS: 1 by ARLO BATES IN PRAISE OF PAIN by HEATHER MCHUGH THE SYMPATIZERS by JOSEPHINE MILES |
