Classic and Contemporary Poetry
LINEN BANDS, by VANCE THOMPSON Poet's Biography
First Line: I weep those dead lips, white and dry
Last Line: God hath the soul.
First Line: I weep those dead lips, white and dry
Last Line: God hath the soul.
I WEEP those dead lips, white and dry,
On which no kisses lie,
Those eyes deserted of desire,
And love's soft fire.
I weep the folded feet and hands,
Held fast in linen bands;
Still heart, cold breasts, -- for them my dole:
God hath the soul.
