FORGIVENESS LANE, by MARTHA GILBERT DICKINSON First Line: Forgiveness lane is old as youth Last Line: And blessed forgiveness lane! Subject(s): Forgiveness; Clemency | |||
FORGIVENESS LANE is old as youth, You cannot miss your way; 'T is hedged with flowering thorn forsooth Where white doves fearless stray. You must walk gently with your Love, Frail blossoms dread your feet -- And bloomy branches close above Make heaven near and sweet. Some lovers fear the stile of pride And turn away in pain -- But more have kissed where white doves hide And blessed Forgiveness Lane! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FORGIVING MY FATHER by LUCILLE CLIFTON WHAT WE CARRY; FOR DONALD by DORIANNE LAUX THE MAN WITH THE HOE OUTWITTED by EDWIN MARKHAM SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: ELMER BARR by EDGAR LEE MASTERS LEAVING CHURCH EARLY by JOHN UPDIKE A PRIEST'S PRAYER by MARTHA GILBERT DICKINSON |
