Despair
Read 'Despair' by 'Paul Laurence Dunbar' and provide your summary and literary analysis in the comments section below.
Let me close the eyes of my soul
That I may not see
What stands between thee and me.
Let me shut the ears of my heart
That I may not hear
A voice that drowns yours, my dear.
Let me cut the cords of my life,
Of my desolate being,
Since cursed is my hearing and seeing.
