Revenge Analysis

1Ay, gaze upon her rose-wreath'd hair,
2And gaze upon her smile;
3Seem as you drank the very air
4Her breath perfumed the while;

5And wake for her the gifted line,
6That wild and witching lay,
7And swear your heart is as a shrine,
8That only holds her sway.

9'Tis well: I am revenged at last;--
10Mark you that scornful cheek,--
11The eye averted as you pass'd,
12Spoke more than words could speak.

13Ay, now by all the bitter tears
14That I have shed for thee,--
15The racking doubts, the burning fears,--
16Avenged they well may be--

17By the nights pass'd in sleepless care,
18The days of endless woe;
19All that you taught my heart to bear,
20All that yourself will know.

21I would not wish to see you laid
22Within an early tomb;
23I should forget how you betray'd,
24And only weep your doom:

25But this is fitting punishment,
26To live and love in vain,--
27O my wrung heart, be thou content,
28And feed upon his pain.

29Go thou and watch her lightest sigh,--
30Thine own it will not be;
31And bask beneath her sunny eye,--
32It will not turn on thee.

33'Tis well: the rack, the chain, the wheel,
34Far better hadst thou proved;
35Ev'n I could almost pity feel,
36For thou art nor beloved.

.: BS! :.

I agree! This is simply the damn poem and not an analysis and shouldn't therefore be marked as one. What a scam.
