THE LAST MAN: CONCEALED JOY by THOMAS LOVELL BEDDOES

Poet Analysis

First Line: JUST NOW A BEAM OF JOY HUNG ON HIS EYE-LASH
Last Line: INTO A DARKENING HOLE.
Subject(s): EYES; HAPPINESS; JOY; DELIGHT;
JUST now a beam of joy hung on his eye-lash;
But, as I looked, it sunk into his eye,
Like a bruised worm writhing its form of rings
Into a darkening hole.
