HOPELESS, by GRACE DENIO LITCHFIELD Poet's Biography First Line: There lay a soul in mortal pain Last Line: She 'll die amain, he said. Subject(s): Hope; Optimism | ||||||||
THERE lay a soul in mortal pain, And given o'er, 't was said; The wise men wrought and strove in vain. Naught can restore, they said. But Love stood by and laughed aloud. Earth's highest skill can weave a shroud, And nothing more, he sa d. I only in the world can give Drugs for her pain, he said. I only can give strength to live, Making life gain, he said. Upon your dulness lie the sin! Because no man doth call me in, She 'll die amain, he said. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HOPE IS NOT FOR THE WISE by ROBINSON JEFFERS SONNET by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON SPRING FLOODS by MAURICE BARING SONNET: 9.
