PILGRIM, by ALLETAH DICKENSON First Line: Let me stand Last Line: Of an overburnt altarcloth. | |||
Let me stand In the outer recesses Of your heart's shrine. I do not wish A swifter entry To your soul Than by pain-marked steps. For those who enter quickly Sooner taste the ashes Of an overburnt altarcloth. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE OLD ENEMY by SARA TEASDALE UNGUARDED GATES by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH TO THE LADIES by MARY LEE CHUDLEIGH NO BABY IN THE HOUSE by CLARA G.
