MOTHER LOVE, by DOROTHY DAVIS First Line: Some said his sins surpassed belief Last Line: Behind the bulwark of her heart. Subject(s): Mothers | ||||||||
Some said his sins surpassed belief, Some that he was devoid of sense; They called him coward, fool and thief, And damned him for his insolence. But she, employing all the proud Defenses of her woman's art, Preserved him from the hostile crowd Behind the bulwark of her heart. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MY MOTHER'S HANDS by ANDREW HUDGINS CONTINENT'S END by ROBINSON JEFFERS IN THE 25TH YEAR OF MY MOTHER'S DEATH by JUDY JORDAN THE PAIDLIN' WEAN by ALEXANDER ANDERSON BLASTING FROM HEAVEN by PHILIP LEVINE |
