A WOMAN'S SONNETS: 6, by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: What have I lost? The faith I had that right Last Line: To thee alone naught needs to be confessed. Subject(s): Love - Loss Of | |||
What have I lost? The faith I had that Right Must surely prove itself than Ill more strong. For see how little my poor prayers had might To save me, at the trial's pinch, from wrong. What have I lost? The truth of my proud eyes Scorning deceit. Behold me here to-day Leading a double life, at shifts with lies, And trembling lest each shadow should betray. No longer with my lost ones may I mourn, Who came to me in sleep and breathed soft words. Sleepless I lie and fearful and forlorn, With their love's edge still wounding like a sword's. In thy dear presence only I find rest. To thee alone naught needs to be confessed. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ROSE AND MURRAY by CONRAD AIKEN THOUGH WE NO LONGER POSSESS IT by MARK JARMAN THE GLORY OF THE DAY WAS IN HER FACE by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON LOVE COME AND GONE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON CHAMBER MUSIC: 28 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 33 by JAMES JOYCE A SCOTCH SONG by JOANNA BAILLIE ESTHER; A YOUNG MAN'S TRAGEDY: 50 by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT ESTHER; A YOUNG MAN'S TRAGEDY: 51 by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT THE LOVE SONNETS OF PROTEUS: 110.
