AWAY! (2), by HEINRICH HEINE Poet's Biography First Line: If by one woman thou'rt jilted, love Last Line: Not much in the world below thee. Subject(s): Life; Love; Women | ||||||||
IF by one woman thou'rt jilted, love Another, and so forget her; To pack up thy knapsack, and straight remove From the town will be still better. Thou'lt soon discover a blue lake fair, By weeping willows surrounded; Thy trifling grief thou'lt weep away there, Thy pangs so little founded. Whilst climbing up the hillside fast, Thou'lt pant and groan full loudly; But when on the rocky summit at last, Thou'lt hear the eagle scream proudly. An eagle thyself thou'lt seem to be, New life the change will bestow thee; Thou'lt feel thou hast lost, when thus set free. Not much in the world below thee. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ARISTOTLE TO PHYLLIS by JOHN HOLLANDER A WOMAN'S DELUSION by SUSAN HOWE JULIA TUTWILER STATE PRISON FOR WOMEN by ANDREW HUDGINS THE WOMEN ON CYTHAERON by ROBINSON JEFFERS TOMORROW by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD LADIES FOR DINNER, SAIPAN by KENNETH KOCH GOODBYE TO TOLERANCE by DENISE LEVERTOV |
