IN YOUTH, by EVALEEN STEIN Poet's Biography First Line: Not lips of mine have ever said Last Line: O god, -- not, not for death! | |||
NOT lips of mine have ever said: "Would God that I were dead!" Nay, cruel griefs! ye cannot break My love of life; nor can ye make Oblivion blest in any wise, Nor death seem sweet for sorrow's sake. Life! life! my every pulse outcries For life, and love, and quickened breath, O God, -- not, not for death! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FLOOD TIME ON THE MARSHES by EVALEEN STEIN GIRL IN A CAGE by CARL SANDBURG INVITATION TO PETERHEAD by JAMES HAY BEATTIE THE 'VARUNA' by GEORGE HENRY BOKER AN EPITAPH ON MRS.
