WRATH, by MARY MARGARET DENNING First Line: Weak nature,to allow his passion's weight Last Line: And hurls it deeper, deeper in disgrace. | |||
Weak nature, to allow his passion's weight To prey upon the proud gift of free will, To force rebelling judgment to place hate Upon calm's lofty, reserved pedestal; To cast all prudence to the breast of earth, And fling his sense of shame to utter space, About his soul cruel fury forms a girth And hurls it deeper, deeper in disgrace. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LINES TO THE MEMORY OF ANNIE WHO DIED AT MILAN, JUNE 6, 1860 by HARRIET BEECHER STOWE THE MORAL FABLES: THE WOLF AND THE LAMB by AESOP ODES: BOOK 1: ODE 2.
