POVERTY, by DOROTHY WHITEHEAD HOUGH First Line: It is my fate to be Last Line: Of jewels and tapestry. Subject(s): Depressions, Economic; Money; Poverty; Recessions | |||
It is my fate to be Sated by unwanted luxury, Too poor to buy the simple things My soul desires in vain. How strange is life! Magnificence on every hand, Beauty is missed. Riches are mine, Alas, and yet so poor! Oh, give me love Which money cannot buy, And quiet peace, beyond the price Of jewels and tapestry. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DEPRESSION DAYS (2) by PAT MORA EDEN, THEN AND NOW by RUTH STONE BAGPIPE MUSIC by FREDERICK LOUIS MACNEICE DRIVING IN OKLAHOMA by CARTER REVARD THE POET'S TERROR AT THE BALIFFS OF EXETER, FR.
