Rhomboidal Dirge

by George Wither

In the realm of poetry, where emotions dance and words weave their magic, George Wither's "Rhomboidal Dirge" emerges as a haunting melody, a lament for love lost and the depths of sorrow that linger within. The poem opens with a poignant question, "Ah me! Am I the swain," immediately drawing the reader into the speaker's world of despair. The speaker, once a carefree soul untouched by love's pangs, now finds himself drowning in a sea of grief, his heart shattered by the absence of his beloved.
