LETHE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: I DO NOT ASK FOR LOVE, AH! NO,
Last Line: TO SINK IN QUIET SEAS.
Subject(s): LOVE - LOSS OF;
I do not ask for love, -- ah! no,
Nor friendship's happiness,
These were relinquished long ago
I search for something less.

I seek a little, tranquil bark
In which to drift at ease
Awhile, and then quite silently
To sink in quiet seas.
