Poet Analysis

First Line: I SEE MY PLAINT WITH OPEN EARS
Last Line: IS THAT I SEE MYSELF ALIVE.
Subject(s): EYES; LIFE; TEARS;
I see my plaint with open ears
Is heard, alas, and laughing eyes.
I see that scorn beholds my tears
And all the harm hap can devise.
I see my life away so wears
That I myself myself despise.
And most of all wherewith I strive
Is that I see myself alive.
