WEANED FROM LIFE AND TORN AWAY, by EMILY JANE BRONTE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography Alternate Author Name(s): Bell, Ellis Subject(s): Death; Dead, The | |||
Weaned from life and flown away In the morning of thy day, Bound in everlasting gloom, Buried in a hapless tomb. Yet upon thy bended knee Thank the power that banished thee; Chain and bar and dungeon wall Saved thee from a deadlier thrall. Thank the power that made thee part Ere that parting broke thy heart. Wildly rushed the mountain spring From its source of fern and ling; How invincible its roar, Had its waters worn the shore. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A FRIEND KILLED IN THE WAR by ANTHONY HECHT FOR JAMES MERRILL: AN ADIEU by ANTHONY HECHT TARANTULA: OR THE DANCE OF DEATH by ANTHONY HECHT CHAMPS D?ÇÖHONNEUR by ERNEST HEMINGWAY NOTE TO REALITY by TONY HOAGLAND |
