WELCOME, O fiery Pain! My heart unseared, unstricken, Drinks deep thy fervid rain, My spirit-seeds to quicken. Welcome, O tranquil Death! Thou hast no ills to grieve me, Who cam'st with Freedom's breath From sorrow to retrieve me. Open, O vast unknown, Thy sealed mysterious portals! I go to seek mine own, Vision of Love immortal. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A FRIEND KILLED IN THE WAR by ANTHONY HECHT FOR JAMES MERRILL: AN ADIEU by ANTHONY HECHT TARANTULA: OR THE DANCE OF DEATH by ANTHONY HECHT CHAMPS D?ÇÖHONNEUR by ERNEST HEMINGWAY NOTE TO REALITY by TONY HOAGLAND A CHALLENGE TO FATE by SAROJINI NAIDU |
