BLACKSMITH PAIN, by OTTO JULIUS BIERBAUM First Line: Pain is a blacksmith Last Line: What pain has forged. Subject(s): Pain; Suffering; Misery | ||||||||
PAIN is a blacksmith, Hard is his hammer; With flying flames His hearth is hot; A straining storm Of forces ferocious Blows his bellows. He hammers hearts And tinkers them, With blows tremendous, Till hard they hold. Well, well forges Pain. No storm destroys, No frost consumes, No rust corrodes, What Pain has forged. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PARTHENOPHIL AND PARTHENOPHE: MADRIGAL 14 by BARNABE BARNES SONNETS IN SHADOWS: 1 by ARLO BATES IN PRAISE OF PAIN by HEATHER MCHUGH THE SYMPATIZERS by JOSEPHINE MILES LEEK STREET by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR ENOUGH by OTTO JULIUS BIERBAUM |
