Death Of Labour Poem by Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Death Of Labour

Rating: 2.6


Methought a great wind swept across the earth,
And all the toilers perished. Then I saw
Pale terror blanch the rosy face of mirth,
And careless eyes grow full of fear and awe.
The sounds of pleasure ceased; the laughing song
On folly's lip changed to an angry cures:
A nameless horror seized the idle throng,
And death and ruin filled the universe.

A wee bit dark on display but still well written.
