Poet Analysis

First Line: I HAVE SWUNG TO THE UTTERMOST REACHES OF PAIN
Last Line: ON THE RAPTUROUS SWING OF AN INFINITE KISS.
Subject(s): KISSES; PAIN; SUFFERING; MISERY;
I have swung to the uttermost reaches of pain,
'Mid the echo of sighs, and a deluge of rain,
But ah! I rebound to the limits of bliss,
On the rapturous swing of an infinite kiss.
