HEART WOUNDS, by CLAIRE RICHCREEK THOMAS First Line: Cold steel may penetrate the flesh Last Line: The scar -- will long remain. | ||||||||
Cold steel may penetrate the flesh, The wound may throb and smart, But far more painful are the wounds Inflicted on the heart. Soothing balm may cease the pain That body-blows impart But what can heal the deep-cut wounds Inflicted on the heart? Yes -- marks upon the flesh will fade, Forgotten with the pain, But when the heart is wounded thus, The scar -- will long remain. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ENGLAND'S DEAD by FELICIA DOROTHEA HEMANS THE OTHER WORLD by HARRIET BEECHER STOWE AGAMEMNON: THE SACRIFICE OF IPHIGENIA.
