HER WORDS AND PRAYERS, by JOHN PIERPONT Poet's Biography First Line: She led me first to god Last Line: That thou hast bless'd me since my natal hour. Subject(s): Mothers | ||||||||
SHE led me first to God; Her words and prayers were my young spirit's dew-- For when she us'd to leave The fireside every eve, I knew it was for prayer that she withdrew. How often has the thought Of my mourn'd mother brought Peace to my troubled spirit, and new power The tempter to repel! Mother, thou knowest well That thou hast bless'd me since my natal hour. | 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 ON LAYING THE CORNER-STONE OF THE BUNKER HILL MOMUMENT by JOHN PIERPONT |
