MOST curious that she should weep Who had no tears to waste On any matter, light or deep, That was not to her taste. Her lips were always turned with scorn, Her eyes persistently Lifted above the crowd. Forlorn That she would never be. Yet something touched her in the end; The barriers are riven, And all the tears she would not spend Impetuously given. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SOME LAST QUESTIONS by WILLIAM STANLEY MERWIN OFAY-WATCHER LOOKS BACK by MONGANE WALLY SEROTE TO ONE WHO ASKS by MARY REYNOLDS ALDIS DEAD MEN, TO A METAPHYSICIAN by WILLIAM HERVEY ALLEN JR.
