Won't you help support DayPoems? On One who died discovering her KindnessBy John Sheffield, Duke of Buckinghamshire1649-1720SOME vex their souls with jealous pain, While others sigh for cold disdain: Love's various slaves we daily see-- Yet happy all compared with me! Of all mankind I loved the best A nymph so far above the rest That we outshined the Blest above; In beauty she, as I in love. And therefore They, who could not bear To be outdone by mortals here, Among themselves have placed her now, And left me wretched here below. All other fate I could have borne, And even endured her very scorn; But oh! thus all at once to find That dread account--both dead and kind! What heart can hold? If yet I live, 'Tis but to show how much I grieve. DayPoems Poem No. 410 Comment on DayPoems? If you are like us, you have strong feelings about poetry, and about each poem you read. Let it all out!
