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. Written in Keats' “Endymion”
2. The Two Peacocks of Bedfont
3. Song (The stars are with the voyager)
4. Ode on a Distant Prospect of Clapham Academy
5. The Two Swans
