JEALOUSY, by CHARLES TENNYSON TURNER Poet's Biography First Line: Alas! Sad jealousy! The scalding tear Last Line: She knows the healer can do nought for her! Subject(s): Jealousy | ||||||||
Alas! sad Jealousy! the scalding tear Drops on her hands - her brow aches sadly too; This morn she wandered half the country through, Weeping, with those false eyes for ever near: She, who look'd boldly in the front of Love, And searched his glittering face, so proud and fair, Must droop her gaze, declining from above, And clasp his feet, and shed her sorrows there: Or, like some aged lazar must she lie, Some palsied crone, who hath no voice but tears - Who sees the long-expected leech pass by Her couch, to whisper hope in younger ears; And her heart trembles, dying, yet astir; She knows the healer can do nought for her! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DOG AFTER LOVE by YEHUDA AMICHAI TOGETHER IN GREECE by LINDA GREGG THE JEALOUS LOVERS by DONALD HALL WOMEN THEY COULD KILL FOR by PETER JOHNSON GENEVIEVE AND ALEXANDRA (2) by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON SONNET (6) by GEORGE SANTAYANA HER FIRST-BORN by CHARLES TENNYSON TURNER |
