RECOMPENSE, by JOHN RICHARD MORELAND First Line: All that we say returns Last Line: The doer and the deed keep pace. | |||
All that we say returns, The bitter word or sweet; Days, weeks, or years may intervene, But soon or late The spoken word and speaker meet. All that we do returns: The deed that's true or base We may forget, but all unseen And parallel The doer and the deed keep pace. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A MINOR POET by JOHN RICHARD MORELAND BIRCH TREES by JOHN RICHARD MORELAND CHANGELESS by JOHN RICHARD MORELAND FAITH (3) by JOHN RICHARD MORELAND GROWTH by JOHN RICHARD MORELAND HER GARDEN by JOHN RICHARD MORELAND HIS HANDS by JOHN RICHARD MORELAND I LOVE ALL THINGS THAT CLUSTER ROUND THE SEA by JOHN RICHARD MORELAND IN APRIL by JOHN RICHARD MORELAND LAMENT by JOHN RICHARD MORELAND |
