Pity Me Not Because The Light Of Day Analysis

Author: poem of Edna St. Vincent Millay Type: poem Views: 6

Pity me not because the light of day
At close of day no longer walks the sky;
Pity me not for beauties passed away
From field and thicket as the the year goes by;
Pity me not the waning of the moon,
Nor that the ebbing tide goes out to sea,
Nor that a man's desire is hushed so soon,
And you no longer look with love on me.
This have I known always: Love is no more
Than the wide blossom which the wind assails,
Than the great tide that treads the shifting shore,
Strewing fresh wreckage gathered in the gales:
Pity me that the heart is slow to learn
What the swift mind beholds at ever turn.

.: Pity me not :.

So beautifully is said, there are many things I suffer for which you may have sorrow, but spare me the worst one, and that is although I am smart and can be glib and answer wisely, my heart is smarter and knows the truth and will suffer more and more, because it cannot, nor will not listen to my all-too-deceptive mind. It knows the truth. Grief takes a long time and can't be glibly talked away.

.: Poem by Edna St Vincent M :.

I love this poem because no matter what changes, and many things do, (tide, moon, sun goes down, wind blows etc.) She realizes "the heart is slow to learn
What the swift mind beholds at ever turn" The heart does not want to think, about dangers. The heart is so trusting and becuase of that trust, gets hurt. The heart is nieve. The mind knows better, the mind thinks about motives, and feelings and is swift.
