Name: The Complaints Of The Poor - Robert Southey by Poetaster
Duration: 2 min 7 s
Description: A Lakeland Romantic poet, his fame has been eclipsed by that of Wordsworth and Coleridge but Southey was an educated man and a biographer as well as a poet. Not to mention the fact that he was the Poet Laureate for 30 years. This poem has few surprises but is a salutary reminder of the world's failure to deal with the "problem" of the poor.

This is much more focused on doubt and the challenge of choosing than it at first appears.
