FEAR OF LIFE by FRANCES CROFTS DARWIN CORNFORD

Poet Analysis

First Line: THOUGHT SHIELD YOU WITH HER GREAT GREY WINGS
Last Line: AWAY FROM HEARTS THAT WRENCH AND TEAR.
THOUGHT shield you with her great grey wings.
Away from hearts that wrench and tear,
Away from personal tingling things
Thought shield you, with her great grey wings;
From dread, and tenderness that stings,
Into the clean impartial air.
Thought shield you, with her great grey wings,
Away from hearts that wrench and tear.
