I HAVE been dealt a cruel blow, And though it caused me pain, I was too strong to be laid low; I am but hurt, not slain. Therefore I have no cause to grieve, Nay, I rejoice, because A hurt that could not kill must leave Me stronger than I was. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONOMA FIRE by JANE HIRSHFIELD AS THE SPARKS FLY UPWARDS by JOHN HOLLANDER WHAT GREAT GRIEF HAS MADE THE EMPRESS MUTE by JUNE JORDAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 19 by JAMES JOYCE DIRGE AT THE END OF THE WOODS by LEONIE ADAMS |
