A THROE UPON THE FEATURES, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
Last Line: To rejoin its own
Subject(s): Death; Patience


A throe upon the features -
A hurry in the breath -
An ecstasy of parting
Denominated "Death" -

An anguish at the mention
Which when to patience grown,
I've known permission given
To rejoin its own.
