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...ON THE BUST OF HELEN BY CANOVA by GEORGE GORDON BYRON LIKE A LAVEROCK IN THE LIFT by JEAN INGELOW SONNET by MICHELANGELO BUONARROTI POOR [OR, COCK] ROBIN by MOTHER GOOSE THE COTTAGER TO HER INFANT by DOROTHY WORDSWORTH TO A YOUNG MAN ON THE PLATFORM OF A SUBWAY EXPRESS by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS |
