SONG, by JOHN DOWLAND Poet's Biography First Line: Woeful heart with grief oppressed Last Line: By thy loss than by her parting. Subject(s): Happiness; Joy; Delight | |||
WOEFUL heart with grief oppressed, Since my fortunes most distressed, From my joys hath me removed, Follow those sweet eyes adored: Those sweet eyes wherein are stored, All my pleasures best beloved. Fly, my breast, leave me foresaken, Wherein grief his seat hath taken, All his arrows through me darting, Thou may'st live by her sun-shining, I shall suffer no more pining, By thy loss than by her parting. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE STUDY OF HAPPINESS by KENNETH KOCH SO MUCH HAPPINESS by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE CROWD CONDITIONS by JOHN ASHBERY I WILL NOT BE CLAIMED by MARVIN BELL THE BOOK OF THE DEAD MAN (#21): 1.
