FETES GALANTES: ROMANCES SANS PAROLE, SELECTION, by PAUL VERLAINE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Tears in my heart that weeps Last Line: Why thou hast all this woe. Subject(s): Grief; Sorrow; Sadness | |||
Tears in my heart that weeps, Like the rain upon the town. What drowsy languor steeps In tears my heart that weeps? O sweet sound of the rain On earth and on the roofs! For a heart's weary pain O the song of the rain! Vain tears, vain tears, my heart! What, none hath done thee wrong? Tears without reason start From my disheartened heart. This is the weariest woe, O heart, of love and hate Too weary, not to know Why thou hast all this woe. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONOMA FIRE by JANE HIRSHFIELD AS THE SPARKS FLY UPWARDS by JOHN HOLLANDER WHAT GREAT GRIEF HAS MADE THE EMPRESS MUTE by JUNE JORDAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 19 by JAMES JOYCE DIRGE AT THE END OF THE WOODS by LEONIE ADAMS A FORGOTTEN TUNE by PAUL VERLAINE |
