Poem by Thomas Hood

Punishment of Suicides

When would-be Suicides in purpose fail,
Who could not find a morsel though they needed –
If Peter sends them for attempts to jail,
What would he do to them if they succeeded?

1. Stanzas (Is there a bitter pang for love removed)
2. The Departure of Summer
3. The Two Peacocks of Bedfont
4. Ballad (She's up and gone, the graceless girl)
5. The Poet's Portion
