I'M A-WEARY, by JOSEPH SKIPSEY Poet's Biography First Line: I'm a-weary with care, I'm a-weary with care Last Line: Like the sea-waves around yon lone rock on the shore. Subject(s): Death; Old Age; Weariness; Dead, The; Fatigue | ||||||||
I'm a-weary with care, I'm a-weary with care, Surrounded with woes that no mortal can bear, Whil'st I gaze on the night of my ills and survey, Not a star to direct my lorn soul on her way. I'm shorn of my strength and tho' few are my years, The winter of life on my aspect appears; Ay, the feeling of death steals apace round my core, Like the sea-waves around yon lone rock on the shore. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VALUE IN MOUNTAINS: 10 by KENNETH REXROTH IMPERIAL NOSTALGIAS: 4 by CESAR VALLEJO BLACK SHEEP by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON TIRED TIM by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE WEARINESS by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW NEURASTENIA by AGNES MARY F.
