Poet Analysis

First Line: SHE IS FALSE, O DEATH, SHE IS FAIR!
Last Line: AND KEEP OUT HER FACE -- HER FACE!
Subject(s): DEATH; DEAD, THE;
SHE is false, O Death, she is fair!
Let me hide my head on thy knee;
Blind mine eyes, dull mine ears, O Death!
She hath broke my heart for me!
Give me a perfect dream;
Find me a rare, dim place;
But let not her voice come nigh,
And keep out her face -- her face!
