Ruth

Ruth. Though your morsel now a tear And your apparel now a wear, Behold I shall not let go; I shall not forsake you my goal. I shall not desert my dear, Though your morsel now a tear, The oak was great,you’re my glory; The oak now ash, you’re my story. Sad the storm drenches you in cold, I must hence with all me you hold; Though your morsel now a tear, The stress and labour for my rear. No I shall not ,I shall not let go, I shall hold you tight my goal; I shall hold you with fanfare, Though your morsel now a tear. Contest : Ruth. Sponsor : Isaiah Zerbst.

The only quatern in the contest; seems like quintain was vastly preferred. You have great sadness in this poem as well as considering what Ruth had to endure physically, and it ends on a feeling of togetherness and devotion: all very positive things. I could wish, however, that there was more focus on the actual person and words of Ruth, as most of the poem could be applied to any number of people.
