My soul is like a fragile flower, Whose cup the sky so full has filled With dew, that earthwards it must lower Its head, till half the wealth is spilled. Thus hast thou showered on me, my Heaven, Such glorious bliss without alloy; My heart, it bends 'neath bounty given, And overbrims in tears of joy. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE STUDY OF HAPPINESS by KENNETH KOCH SO MUCH HAPPINESS by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE CROWD CONDITIONS by JOHN ASHBERY I WILL NOT BE CLAIMED by MARVIN BELL THE BOOK OF THE DEAD MAN (#21): 1.
