@3thrust out in a Tokyo scene soon after his birth, and rescued in vain@1 @3Animula vagula blandula,@1 foundling dear, So deep a hold have you already won On our tired hearts? so great a joy have you to give? So sharp a fear? Can your tininess unseal so hot a tear And prayer, that you should live? Like these cherry-flowers here Whose life thin-spun Seems by its own ghost haunted -- but no more words! Save, all heaven's luck befriend you, Blind eyes and feeling hands, That take us for all-surety and all-love, And so to sleep. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE PASSING OF THE EX-SLAVE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON BRIDAL SONG by GEORGE CHAPMAN (1559-1634) THE MEDAL; A SATIRE AGAINST SEDITION by JOHN DRYDEN PICTURES FROM APPLEDORE: 3 by JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL STREET CORNER COLLEGE by KENNETH PATCHEN |
