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. Sonnet on Receiving a Gift
2. The World Is with Me
3. Sonnet (By ev'ry sweet tradition of true hearts)
4. Lines on Seeing My Wife and Two Children Sleeping in the Same Chamber
5. Ballad (Spring it is cheery)
