PAR, by CLIFTON E. BLAKE First Line: I took my sin to market Last Line: They trembled when I passed. | |||
I took my sin to market And led it through the town; The people flocked about me, And didn't even frown: They paid me money down. I took my love to market And cried it on the square; The people came to see it And called it pretty ware: They bade me keep it there. I took my soul to market. The people stood aghast; They ran into their houses And locked the shutters fast: They trembled when I passed. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...JUNIUS BRUTUS BOOTH by EDGAR LEE MASTERS FAIR HARVARD by GEORGE SANTAYANA A BOOK OF AIRS: SONG 9 by THOMAS CAMPION THE RECRUIT by ROBERT WILLIAM CHAMBERS SUMMER SHOWER by EMILY DICKINSON |
