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 (By ev'ry sweet tradition of true hearts)
2. Stanzas (Is there a bitter pang for love removed)
3. Sonnet on Receiving a Gift
4. In Rotterdam
5. The World Is with Me
