LEGACY, by IDA COLE BARTLATT First Line: No moonlit pearls or rubies' frozen fire Last Line: Your simple faith showed me the light, the way. | |||
No moonlit pearls or rubies' frozen fire, Or the black-gold of oilwells by the sea, Is your bequeathalbut the strong desire To follow you through God's eternity. No wisdom of the sages did you teach me, No magic lore, or stoic's proud display: Your kindly deeds stretched out like hands to reach Your simple faith showed me the light, the way. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BALLAD OF BAZILE BORGNE: L'ENVOI by IDA COLE BARTLATT UNDER THE WHARF by IDA COLE BARTLATT THE FORSAKEN MERMAN by MATTHEW ARNOLD WEEDS by EDNA ST.
