Classic and Contemporary Poetry


QUERY by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: IS SHE THE SAGE WHO WILL NOT SIP
Last Line: AND TURNS WITH SMILING FACE—TO DIE?

Is she the sage who will not sip
The cup love presses to her lip?
Or she who drinks the mad cup dry,
And turns with smiling face—to die?
