SONG, by JOHN DOWLAND Poet's Biography First Line: Mourn, mourn Last Line: That thus the sun should harbour with the night. Subject(s): Happiness; Joy; Delight | ||||||||
MOURN, mourn, Day is with darkness fled What heaven then governs earth, Oh none, but hell in heaven's stead, Chokes with his mists our mirth Mourn, mourn, Look now for no more day Nor night, but that from hell, Then all must as they may In darkness learn to dwell. But yet this change, must needs change our delight, That thus the sun should harbour with the night. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE STUDY OF HAPPINESS by KENNETH KOCH SO MUCH HAPPINESS by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE CROWD CONDITIONS by JOHN ASHBERY I WILL NOT BE CLAIMED by MARVIN BELL THE BOOK OF THE DEAD MAN (#21): 1.
