History & Politics
XXXVI
From The Poetical Works of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Volume 2
History & Politics
I fall, I swoon! I look at the sky.
The clouds are breaking on my brain
I am floated along, as if I should die
Of liberty's exquisite pain.
In the name of the white child waiting for me
In the death-dark where we may kiss and agree,
White men, I leave you all curse-free
In my broken heart's disdain!
