English Poetry at the Poetry Monster. Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Poem The Wombat.

Poem by Dante Gabriel Rossetti

The Wombat

OH how the family affections combat
Within this heart, and each hour flings a bomb at
My burning soul! Neither from owl nor from bat
Can peace be gained until I clasp my wombat.
