LINEN BANDS, by VANCE THOMPSON Poet's Biography First Line: I weep those dead lips, white and dry Last Line: God hath the soul. | |||
I WEEP those dead lips, white and dry, On which no kisses lie, Those eyes deserted of desire, And love's soft fire. I weep the folded feet and hands, Held fast in linen bands; Still heart, cold breasts, -- for them my dole: God hath the soul. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LA PALOMA IN LONDON by CLAUDE MCKAY WHEN I WAS A BIRD by KATHERINE MANSFIELD THE DIRTY OLD MAN by WILLIAM ALLINGHAM FLUSH OR FAUNUS by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING OUR GOOD PRESIDENT by PHOEBE CARY DARWINISM by AGNES MARY F.
