Classic and Contemporary Poetry

OUTWORN by RACHEL ANNAND TAYLOR

First Line: BETWEEN THE WINDS AND THE STEADFAST STARS
Last Line: OF THE LOVE, AND THE PAIN, AND SIN?
Subject(s): LOVE - COMPLAINTS; PASSION;
BETWEEN the winds and the steadfast stars
Are there no quiet ways
Where the soul may swoon for evermore
Through the dim pure nights and days?

Where never a sound or a scent can float,
Where never a dream can win
Of the passion of tears and travail past,
Of the love, and the pain, and sin?
