Worry, worry, shifty-eyed, Look me in the face! Throw that sullenness aside; Come, debate the case! Here's the judge, good Common-sense, Waiting in his chair; Spirits of intelligence Form a jury fair. Come, I'm ready: state the ground Of each groan and sigh; All your gloomy fears expound, And the reasons why. What's your spite against us men? Not a word to say? Ah! you're off? Good riddance, then! Hope you've gone to stay! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A VOICE PROPHETIC by WALT WHITMAN MEMORIES by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH BRITANNIA'S PASTORALS: BOOK 2.
