The forsaken poem is a powerful and emotional work that speaks to the pain and isolation of being abandoned or rejected by someone we love. The poem paints a vivid picture of the heartache and loneliness that often accompany feelings of abandonment, and the ways in which we try to cope with and overcome these feelings.
The poem begins with a sense of despair and hopelessness, as the speaker laments the loss of their loved one and the emptiness that now fills their life. The imagery used in the poem is striking, with the speaker describing themselves as "forsaken" and "lost," as if they are adrift in a sea of grief and longing.
Despite the depth of their suffering, however, the speaker does not give up hope. They cling to the memory of their loved one and the love they once shared, and they hold onto the belief that somehow, some way, they will be reunited. The speaker's determination and resilience in the face of their forsaken state is a testament to the human spirit and the enduring power of love.
As the poem progresses, the speaker begins to explore the ways in which they have tried to cope with their loss and the feelings of abandonment that have come with it. They describe how they have sought solace in the natural world, finding comfort in the beauty of the stars and the trees. They also talk about the ways in which they have tried to fill the void left by their loved one, whether through distraction or through seeking out new relationships.
Despite these efforts, however, the speaker is unable to shake the sense of loss and loneliness that has taken hold of them. They are haunted by the memory of their loved one and the pain of their departure, and they struggle to find a way forward.
In the end, the forsaken poem is a poignant and moving tribute to the enduring power of love and the resilience of the human spirit. It speaks to the pain and isolation of being abandoned, and the ways in which we try to cope with and overcome these feelings. Through its vivid imagery and emotional depth, the poem offers a powerful reminder of the importance of loving and being loved, and the enduring hope that exists even in the darkest of times.

Then, without a sigh, Valiant, unshaken, She smoothed her dark locks under her kerchief, Composed her shawl in state, Then folded her hands ridged with sinews and corded with veins, Folded them across her breasts spent with the nourishment of children, Gazed at the sky past the tops of the cedars, Saw two spangled nights arise out of the twilight, Saw two days go by filled with the tranquil sunshine, Saw, without pain, or dread, or even a moment of longing: Then on the third great night there came thronging and thronging Millions of snowflakes out of a windless cloud; They covered her close with a beautiful crystal shroud, Covered her deep and silent. Valiant, unshaken, She Wolf-haunted and lonely, Sure of her goal And the life of her dear one: Tramped for two days, On the Saw the Of the Fort by the river, Saw the wood-smoke Hand soft in the spruces, Heard the keen yelp Of the Fighting for whitefish: Then she had rest.

A Forsaken Garden by Algernon Charles Swinburne
Sand-strewn caverns, cool and deep, Where the winds are all asleep; Where the spent lights quiver and gleam, Where the salt weed sways in the stream, Where the sea-beasts, ranged all round, Feed in the ooze of their pasture-ground; Where the sea-snakes coil and twine, Dry their mail and bask in the brine; Where great whales come sailing by, Sail and sail, with unshut eye, Round the world for ever and aye? I Once in the winter Out on a lake In the Far from the Fort And far from the hunters, A Chippewa woman With her Crouched in the last hours Of a great storm.

The Forsaken by Duncan Campbell Scott
What do I care for respect! Show me a man that dare be true, That dares to suffer what I do; That can for ever sigh unheard, And ever love without regard: I then will own your prior claim To love, to honour, and to fame; But till that time, my dear, adieu, I yet superior am to you. Still Its Bidding her Welcomes, farewells, and V. The echo it awakes, is of a Which Fain Its vanish'd IV. The lyrical form of this poem is unrhyming.

She left lonely for ever The kings of the sea.
