NOT lips of mine have ever said: "Would God that I were dead!" Nay, cruel griefs! ye cannot break My love of life; nor can ye make Oblivion blest in any wise, Nor death seem sweet for sorrow's sake. Life! life! my every pulse outcries For life, and love, and quickened breath, O God, -- not, not for death! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FLOOD TIME ON THE MARSHES by EVALEEN STEIN THE TWO SAYINGS by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING ON FRIENDS AND FOES by WILLIAM BLAKE THE WANDERER: 5.
