VISION, by ELIZABETH N. HAUER First Line: There have been times when I have looked at life Last Line: Dwarfing my paltry tragedies to nought. | |||
There have been times when I have looked at life From out the eyes of sorrow, and have felt The utter loneliness of black night vigils. There have been times when I have wept hot tears And tasted of their salt And drunk the dregs of sadness to the end. There have been times -- and then another's heartache, So deep and rending as to mock my own, Has cut, flamelike, across my blurring vision, Dwarfing my paltry tragedies to nought. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LOVELY CHANCE by SARA TEASDALE TO THE DAISY (3) by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH TASTE, AN EPISTLE TO A YOUNG CRITIC by JOHN ARMSTRONG TRANSITION by MIRIAM BARRANGER ON THE LIFE OF MAN by FRANCIS BEAUMONT CLASS POEM by HARRY RANDOLPH BLYTHE ARS GUBERNANDI by CHARLES WILLIAM BRODRIBB SONNETS FROM THE PORTUGUESE: 34 by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING |
