SONGS OF OURSELVES VOLUME 2: from Part 4 Remember to support your ideas with details from the writing. Either 3 Read this poem, and then answer the question that follows it: I Find No Peace I find no peace, and all my war is done. I fear and hope. I burn and freeze like ice. I fly above the wind, yet can I not arise; And nought I have, and all the world I season. That loseth nor locketh holdeth me in prison 5 And holdeth me not–yet can I scape no wise– Nor letteth me live nor die at my device, And yet of death it giveth me occasion. Without eyen I see, and without tongue I plain. I desire to perish, and yet I ask health. 10 I love another, and thus I hate myself. I feed me in sorrow and laugh in all my pain; Likewise displeaseth me both life and death, And my delight is causer of this strife. (Sir Thomas Wyatt)
