CXVI
I measure every grief I meet
With analytic eyes;
I wonder if it weighs like mine,
Or has an easier size.
I wonder if they bore it long,
Or did it just begin?
I could not tell the date of mine,
It feels so old a pain.
I wonder if it hurts to live,
And if they have to try,
And whether, could they choose between,
They would not rather die.

Or did it just begin?

I wonder if it hurts to live,
And if they have to try,
And whether, could they choose between,
They would not rather die.
