ARE YOU SO POOR?, by WINIFRED LUCAS First Line: Are you so poor? But in the past Last Line: To find, is left. Alternate Author Name(s): Le Bailly, Mrs. Subject(s): Happiness; Past; Time; Joy; Delight | ||||||||
ARE you so poor? But in the past You have a childhood left asleep; And joys that last, In their own moments folded fast; And songs that their first silence keep. Are you so poor with none to sing? Is joy the theft Of Time beyond remembering? Ah then,the lost, a fairer thing To find, is left. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE STUDY OF HAPPINESS by KENNETH KOCH SO MUCH HAPPINESS by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE CROWD CONDITIONS by JOHN ASHBERY I WILL NOT BE CLAIMED by MARVIN BELL THE BOOK OF THE DEAD MAN (#21): 1.
