STRENGTH, by JESSIE WILMORE MURTON First Line: Ask of your soul this question, what is strength? Last Line: Bear up to calvary a cross, alone? Subject(s): Jesus Christ = Suffering & Sacrifice; Strength | |||
Ask of your soul this question, What is strength? Is it to slay ten thousand with the sword? To steal at midnight Gaza's brazen gates? To raze a temple on a heathen horde? Or, in a garden drenched with evening dew And bloody sweat, to pray beside a stone? Defend a sinner from self-righteous priests? Bear up to Calvary a cross, alone? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE MAN SPLITTING WOOD IN THE DAYBREAK by GALWAY KINNELL RESENTMENT by RICHARD ALDINGTON I WILL NOT BE CLAIMED by MARVIN BELL FRESCOES FOR MR.
