EXSPECTO RESURRECTIONEM by CHARLOTTE MEW

Poet Analysis

First Line: OH! KING WHO HAST THE KEY
Subject(s): LOVE;

OH ! King WhOhast the key
Of that dark room,
The last which prisons us but held not Thee,
Thou know'st its gloom.
Dost Thou a little love this one
Shut in to-night,
Young and so piteously alone,
Cold - out of sight?
Thou know'st how hard and bare
The pillow of that new-made narrow bed,
Then leave not there
So dear a head!
