STRUGGLE by SIDNEY LANIER

Poet Analysis

First Line: MY SOUL IS LIKE THE OAR THAT MOMENTLY
Last Line: EACH SECOND I'M NEW-BORN FROM SOME NEW GRAVE.
Subject(s): SOUL;
My soul is like the oar that momently
Dies in a desperate stress beneath the wave,
Then glitters out again and sweeps the sea:
Each second I'm new-born from some new grave.
