Here you will find the Poem Was He Married? of poet Stevie Smith

Was He Married?

Was he married, did he try 
To support as he grew less fond of them 
Wife and family? 

No, 
He never suffered such a blow. 

Did he feel pointless, feeble and distrait, 
Unwanted by everyone and in the way? 

From his cradle he was purposeful, 
His bent strong and his mind full. 

Did he love people very much 
Yet find them die one day? 

He did not love in the human way. 

Did he ask how long it would go on, 
Wonder if Death could be counted on for an end? 

He did not feel like this, 
He had a future of bliss. 

Did he never feel strong 
Pain for being wrong?
