Struggle no more: let it go -- Cries the wind to the water; And the water answers the wind -- It is gone. Struggle no more: let it melt -- Cries the dew to the vapour; And the vapour answers the dew -- It has melted. Struggle no more: let it sink -- Cries the pond to the willow; And the willow answers the pond -- It has sunk. Struggle no more: let it fall -- Cries the moss to the ivy; And the ivy answers the moss -- It has fallen. Struggle no more: Let it die -- Cries the loved to the lover; And the lover answers the loved -- It is dead. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CAROL: NEW STYLE by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET CONTRA MORTEM: THE ECSTASY by HAYDEN CARRUTH BRIGHTNESS AS A POIGNANT LIGHT by DAVID IGNATOW PEACE (1) by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON DOWN BY THE CARIB SEA: 5.
