Struggle no more: let it go -- Cries the wind to the water; And the water answers the wind -- It is gone. Struggle no more: let it melt -- Cries the dew to the vapour; And the vapour answers the dew -- It has melted. Struggle no more: let it sink -- Cries the pond to the willow; And the willow answers the pond -- It has sunk. Struggle no more: let it fall -- Cries the moss to the ivy; And the ivy answers the moss -- It has fallen. Struggle no more: Let it die -- Cries the loved to the lover; And the lover answers the loved -- It is dead. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DEDICATION FOR A PLOT OF GROUND by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS LAUGHING CORN by CARL SANDBURG RENCONTRE by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH HINC LACHRIMAE; OR THE AUTHOR TO AURORA: 42 by WILLIAM BOSWORTH A RAIN-DREAM by WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT ANSWER TO LINES WRITTEN IN ROUSSEAU'S LETTERS OF AN ITALIAN NUN by GEORGE GORDON BYRON |
