IN YOUTH, by EVALEEN STEIN Poet's Biography First Line: Not lips of mine have ever said Last Line: O god, -- not, not for death! | |||
NOT lips of mine have ever said: "Would God that I were dead!" Nay, cruel griefs! ye cannot break My love of life; nor can ye make Oblivion blest in any wise, Nor death seem sweet for sorrow's sake. Life! life! my every pulse outcries For life, and love, and quickened breath, O God, -- not, not for death! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FLOOD TIME ON THE MARSHES by EVALEEN STEIN JOHANNES AGRICOLA IN MEDITATION by ROBERT BROWNING MONUMENT MOUNTAIN by WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT TURTLE SOUP by CHARLES LUTWIDGE DODGSON AN ESSAY ON MAN by ALEXANDER POPE THE ANGLER'S WISH by IZAAK WALTON APRIL'S DREAM by WILLIAM STANLEY BRAITHWAITE LIMERICK by ROBERT JONES BURDETTE HYMN 6.
