THE COMPLAINT, by PHILIP AYRES Poet's Biography First Line: Now angry juno sends from heaven in spite Last Line: Which still with fresh assaults renews my pain. Subject(s): Despair | |||
NOW angry Juno sends from Heaven in spite Rivers and Seas, instead of moderate showers: Horror invests the world, and the bright Hours Of Delos' God, are chang'd to dismal Night. So crowds of anxious thoughts on ev'ry side Invade my soul, and through my restless eyes, I shed such streams of tears, my heart e'en tries Death's pangs, whilst I by force in life abide. But the brisk gales, which rising by and by, Where Sol at night in Thetis' lap shall lie, Will make Heaven clear, and drive away the rain. Ah, Cynthia! That the blasts of sighs I vent, Could ease my breast of cloudy discontent, Which still with fresh assaults renews my pain. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE DAY THAT WAS THAT DAY by AMY LOWELL MAN IN THE STREET OR HAND OVER MOUTH by HEATHER MCHUGH BURIAL RITES by HAYDEN CARRUTH THE CAMPS; FOR MARILYN HACKER by HAYDEN CARRUTH ON A FAIR BEGGAR by PHILIP AYRES |
