DOULEUR, by LULU BRUNT DAWSON First Line: Batter the doors of heaven Last Line: You will find a broken heart. Subject(s): Wings | |||
Batter the doors of Heaven; Fling the stars aside; What is a door or star to one Whose blithesome heart has died? Reach for the copper moon; Spread desire like wings; How can love reach the utmost height When the heart no longer sings? Go to the depths of Hell; Search through Satan's mart; There in the cavern of despair You will find a broken heart. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ESTATE SALE: THE SCRABBLE GAME OF A DEAD WOMAN by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE FREED FROM ANOTHER CONTEXT by ELEANOR WILNER THE BIRD IN THE LAUREL'S SONG by ELEANOR WILNER THE LITERAL = THE ABSTRACT: A DEMONSTRATION by ELEANOR WILNER |
