Poet Analysis

First Line: I LOOKED DEATH CALMLY IN THE FACE
Last Line: HEART!
Subject(s): DEATH; DEAD, THE;
I looked death calmly in the face
And placed my hand within his hand
And said:
"Come, come, let us away
For I have lost the magic key
Opening the portals of desire—
My wishes cumber in the dust,
And life is stagnant
in
my

heart!
