i am looking for a poem about not knowing someone's inner self. i'm supposed to compare its theme to the theme of a song, and either "beautiful" by belle and sebastian or "unloveable" by the smiths would fit. so if you know any POEM that can fit these song lyrics please help me out. thanks!!!!!!!
"But if you knew what's going on in her life
There'd be a thousand barren mothers there to talk to her
If you knew what's going on in her life
There'd be two hundred troubled teenagers to sit with her
And to talk to her
If you knew what's going on in her life
There would be a documentary on Radio 4"
"If I seem a little strange
That's because I am
But, I know that you would like me
If only you could see me
If only you would meet me"
BE nought dismayd that her vnmoued mind,
doth still persist in her rebellious pride:
such loue not lyke to lusts of baser kynd,
the harder wonne, the firmer will abide.
The durefull Oake, whose sap is not yet dride,
is long ere it conceiue the kindling fyre:
but when it once doth burne, it doth diuide
great heat, and makes his flames to heauen aspire.
So hard it is to kindle new desire,
in gentle brest that shall endure for euer:
deepe is the wound, that dints the parts entire
with chast affects, that naught but death can seuer.
Then thinke not long in taking litle paine,
to knit the knot, that euer shall remaine.
