THERE is no place at all by night or day, Where Iwho am of that hard tyrant Thought The slavecan find security in aught, But He, almighty, reaching me, doth lay His hand upon me there, so rough a way Assaulting me,however I am caught, Walking or standing stillthat for support I sometimes lean on anything I may: Then when he hath me, ease is none from him Till he do out his strength with me; cold sweat Comes o'er my body and on every limb; My arm falls weak as from a fierce embrace; And, ere he leaveth me, he will have set A great eternal mark upon my face. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MILLE ET UN SENTIMENTS (PREMIERS CENTS) by DENISE DUHAMEL SUNDAY AFTERNOON by CLARENCE MAJOR I BROOD ABOUT SOME CONCEPTS, FOR EXAMPLE by ALICIA SUSKIN OSTRIKER EASY LESSONS IN GEOPHAGY by KENNETH REXROTH GENTLEMEN, I ADDRESS YOU PUBLICLY by KENNETH REXROTH ON FLOWER WREATH HILL: 1 by KENNETH REXROTH |
