THE GIRLS' LOT, by AGATHIAS SCHOLASTICUS First Line: Young men have all the luck! They do not know Last Line: We're kept indoors and cut off from the light. Alternate Author Name(s): Agathias Scholasticos Subject(s): Girls | |||
YOUNG men have all the luck! They do not know How hard is life for each soft-hearted maid: They've friends of their own age to whom they go And tell their cares and worries unafraid; They've games to play at, and can freely roam The streets and roll their eyes at paintings bright; While victims of our own dull thoughts at home We're kept indoors and cut off from the light. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO THE RETURNED GIRLS by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS A GIRL by KATHERINE HARRIS BRADLEY SONG OF THE LITTLE WHITE GIRL by KATHERINE MANSFIELD SEASHORE by JOHN FREDERICK NIMS GIRLS ON THE RUN: 1 by JOHN ASHBERY GIRLS ON THE RUN: 10 by JOHN ASHBERY GIRLS ON THE RUN: 14 by JOHN ASHBERY GIRLS ON THE RUN: 2 by JOHN ASHBERY DICING by AGATHIAS SCHOLASTICUS HOMAGE TO QUINTUS SEPTIMIUS FLORENTIS CHRISTIANUS: TROY by AGATHIAS SCHOLASTICUS |
