BALLADE OF THE OUTCASTS: THE VOICE OF THE CHILDREN, by STUART MERRILL Poet's Biography First Line: We are the innocents that weep Last Line: For we are hated by all men. | |||
We are the Innocents that weep, While our bones rot with foul decays, For all the woes that we must reap: No mother sings us lulling lays, No father o'er our slumber prays, But forth we fare from den to dem To filch the death-bread of the strays: For we are hated by all men. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BALLADE OF THE CHINESE LOVER by STUART MERRILL BALLADE OF THE OUTCASTS: THE ENVOY OF THE OUTCASTS by STUART MERRILL BALLADE OF THE OUTCASTS: THE VOICE OF THE MEN by STUART MERRILL BALLADE OF THE OUTCASTS: THE VOICE OF THE WOMEN by STUART MERRILL THE FLOWER OF THE HEART by STUART MERRILL |
