Live thou gladly if so thou may. Pine not thou in looking for me Since that despair hath shut the way Thou to see me or I to see thee. Make thou a virtue of a constraint. Deem no fault where none is worthy. Min is too much. What needs thy plaint? God, he knoweth who is for me. Cast upon the Lord thy cure. Pray unto him thy cause to judge. Believe, and he shall send recure. Vain is all trust of man's refuge. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE RHINOCEROS by HILAIRE BELLOC COLORS by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET THE FLOWER BOAT by ROBERT FROST A DISCRETE LOVE POEM by JAMES GALVIN RETURN (1) by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON ROMANCE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON NOBODY'S LOOKIN' BUT DE OWL AND DE MOON (A NEGRO SERENADE) by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON JOHN WILKES BOOTH AT THE FARM (JANUARY 12, 1848) by EDGAR LEE MASTERS |
