Ah! My injured heart cries
Compressed of agony and cramps
And my eyes flood streams of tears
On unveiled, wounding stamps
And I get hurt and maimed
Hit by the terms as shafts
Failing utterly, to be retained
I sink, pale and fainted, as rafts.

The painful predicament of a sensitive heart in a hostile and hurtful situation is portrayed in this poem. It elicits a natural sympathy
A cry from the hurt heart.Poignant.
A plaintive piece that evokes deep emotions.
Lines entrenched in agony.
