TO DELIA: 43 (2), by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Oh, whither (poor forsaken) wilt thou go
Last Line: Bearing the wound, I needs must feel the pain.
Subject(s): Comfort; Grief; Sorrow; Sadness


Oh, whither (poor forsaken) wilt thou go,
To go from sorrow and thine own distress,
When ev'ry place presents like face of woe,
And no remove can make thy sorrows less?
Yet go (forsaken), leave these woods, these plains;
Leave her and all, and all for her that leaves
Thee and thy love forlorn, and both disdains,
And of both, wrongful deems and ill conceives.
Seek out some place and see if any place
Can give the least release unto thy grief;
Convey thee from the thought of thy disgrace;
Steal from thyself and be thy care's own thief.
But yet what comfort shall I hereby gain?
Bearing the wound, I needs must feel the pain.
