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 VILLA PAULINE by KATHERINE MANSFIELD NEVER TOO LATE: THE PALMER'S ODE by ROBERT GREENE HOME THOUGHTS FROM EUROPE by HENRY VAN DYKE EMBLEMS OF LOVE: 17.
