I have no ears or eyes For either bird or flower; Music and lovely blooms Must bide their lighter hour; So let them wait awhile — For yet another day Till I at last forget The woman lying dead; And how a lonely child Came to his mother's bed And tugged at her cold hand — And could not make it play. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SYMPATHY by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON WORDS TO JOE CERAVOLO by RON PADGETT SYMPATHY (2) by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR SYMPATHY by HENRY DAVID THOREAU MISPLACED SYMPATHY by CHARLES FOLLEN ADAMS QUATORZAINS: 10.
