THEY often have vex'd me sadly And worried me early and late; While some with their love have annoy'd me. The others pursued me with hate. My bread they have utterly poison'd, And poison'd my cup too of late; While some with their love have annoy'd me, The others pursued me with hate. But she who more than all others Has vex'd me, and worried, and chafed, She only with hate ne'er pursued me, She only her love ne'er vouchsafed. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CONCORD HYMN; SUNG AT COMPLETION OF CONCORD MONUMENT, 1836 by RALPH WALDO EMERSON ROME.
