TIRED by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: I'M TIRED, DAYS AND NIGHTS TO ME
Last Line: FOR I AM TIRED—I WOULD REST.
Subject(s): WEARINESS; FATIGUE;
I'm tired, days and nights to me
Drag on in slow monotony,
With not a single star in sight
To lend a gleam of cheering light.

I'm tired, there are none to care
That I am drifting to despair:
O shadows! take me to your breast
For I am tired—I would rest.
