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...FLOWER GUIDANCE by ROBERT FROST THE AWAKENING by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: JONAS KEENE by EDGAR LEE MASTERS OCTAVES: 2 by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON THE RAT by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON THE BLIND GOD by ISAAC ROSENBERG |
