I'M black and blue from their worrying, They've tortured me early and late, Some with their loveGod help me! The others with their hate. They've poisoned the wine on my table, They've poisoned the bread on my plate, Some with their loveGod help me! The others with their hate. But she who most has worried, And tortured and troubledshe Has never either loved me, Or even hated me. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TALKING RICHARD WILSON BLUES, BY RICHARD CLAY WILSON by DENIS JOHNSON THE BRIDGE by ALEXANDER ANDERSON THE RABBI'S SON-IN-LAW by SABINE BARING-GOULD MISGIVINGS by WILLIAM MATTHEWS THROUGH AGONY: 1 by CLAUDE MCKAY HEMATITE HEIRLOOM LIVES ON (MAYBE DECEMBER 1980) by ALICE NOTLEY QUICK AND BITTER by YEHUDA AMICHAI |
