L'ENVOY by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE

Poet Analysis

First Line: IN VAIN WE SUPPLICATE THE POWERS ABOVE
Last Line: IN THE CHILLED HEART BY GRADUAL SELF-DECAY.

In vain we supplicate the Powers above;
There is no resurrection for the Love
That, nursed in tenderest care, yet fades away
In the chilled heart by gradual self-decay.
