NAMELESS PAIN, by             Poem Explanation     Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: In my nostrils the summer wind
Last Line: And scatter its nameless pain!
Subject(s): Pain; Suffering; Misery


IN my nostrils the summer wind
Blows the exquisite scent of the rose:
O for the golden, golden wind,
Breaking the buds as it goes!
Breaking the buds and bending the grass,
And spilling the scent of the rose.

O wind of the summer morn,
Tearing the petals in twain,
Wafting the fragrant soul
Of the rose through valley and plain,
I would you could tear my heart to-day
And scatter its nameless pain!
