CatherineWang - Elizabeth Barrett Browning's “Grief” (2015) lyrics

FINAL an*lysis and Annotations I tell you, hopeless grief is pa**ionless; That only men incredulous of despair, Half-taught in anguish, through the midnight air Beat upward to God's throne in loud access Of shrieking and reproach. Full desertness, In souls as countries, lieth silent-bare Under the blanching, vertical eye-glare Of the absolute heavens. Deep-hearted man, express Grief for thy dead in silence like to d**h— Most like a monumental statue set In everlasting watch and moveless woe Till itself crumble to the dust beneath. Touch it; the marble eyelids are not wet: If it could weep, it could arise and go. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ INITIAL an*lysis and Annotations I tell you, hopeless grief is pa**ionless; That only men incredulous of despair, Half-taught in anguish, through the midnight air Beat upward to God's throne in loud access Of shrieking and reproach.
