REMEMBERING CALVARY, by ETHEL FANNING YOUNG First Line: Help me to suffer when I most would spare Last Line: Remembering calvary. Subject(s): Calvary | ||||||||
Help me to suffer when I most would spare My human frame with pain and weakness spent, Help me receive with open arms nor dare To flinch at pain but count myself content, And all that has been and that is to be Help me to bear, Remembering Calvary. Help me to leash the hounds of my desire, Taming them to a more submissive will, Help me to tune again a broken lyre And find that there is music in it still, Help me to do these things all cheerfully, Nor count the cost, Remembering Calvary. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE CHARGE BY THE FORD by THOMAS DUNN ENGLISH THE BALLAD OF THE COMFORTING by THEODOSIA (PICKERING) GARRISON SINAI AND CALVARY by JOHN MILTON HAY CALVARY by WILLIAM DEAN HOWELLS CALVARY by JESSIE BELL RITTENHOUSE GOOD-FRIDAY by MARGARET ELIZABETH MUNSON SANGSTER GOLGOTHA by JOHN BANISTER TABB YOUR HANDS by ANGELINA WELD GRIMKE THE DOUBLE-HEADED SNAKE OF NEWBURY by JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER |
