THE LAST WISH by EDWARD ROBERT BULWER-LYTTON

Poet Analysis

First Line: SINCE ALL THAT I CAN EVER DO FOR THEE
Last Line: THE ALL-ENDURED THIS NOTHING-DONE COSTS ME.
Subject(s): LOVE; LOVE - LOSS OF; NOTHINGNESS; NIHILISM; VOIDS;
SINCE all that I can ever do for thee
Is to do nothing, this my prayer must be:
That thou mayst never guess nor ever see
The all-endured this nothing-done costs me.
