THE POOR MAN THINKS, by ARTHUR RIMBAUD Poem Explanation Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Perhaps some evening yet Last Line: Unlock for me the door. Subject(s): Poverty | ||||||||
Perhaps some evening yet, at peace in some old town, I'll drink my troubles down and die with less regret, -- time owes me such a debt. If once my fortunes mend shall I go breast the North, or, having gold to spend, dwell in the vine-clad earth? Ah, what is thinking worth? 'Tis but an idle sin. If I became once more the wanderer of yore, never would the green inn unlock for me the door. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE WEALTH OF THE DESTITUTE by DENISE LEVERTOV EMPTY PITCHFORKS by THOMAS LUX FUNERAL SERVICE by EVE MERRIAM A SMALL COUNTRY by CLARIBEL ALEGRIA DOCUMENTAL by CLARIBEL ALEGRIA NOTES ON POVERTY by HAYDEN CARRUTH SONG OF TWO CROWS by HAYDEN CARRUTH PENCIL STUB JOURNALS: CHOICES by JOHN CIARDI AT LAST WE KILLED THE ROACHES by LUCILLE CLIFTON A SEASON IN HELL, SELECTION by ARTHUR RIMBAUD |
