Poem - "A Better Resurrection" by Sylvia Plath

"A Better Resurrection" 
by Sylvia Plath


I have no wit, I have no words, no tears;


My heart within me like a stone

Is numbed too much for hopes or fears;

Look right, look left, I dwell alone;

A lift mine eyes, but dimmed with grief

No everlasting hills I see;

My life is like the falling leaf;

O Jesus, quicken me.
