AN EPITAPH, by JOSEPHINE DEPHINE HENDERSON HEARD First Line: When I am gone Last Line: "but mary-like, ""she hath done what she could." | |||
When I am gone, Above me raise no lofty stone Perfect in human handicraft, No upward pointing gleaming shaft. Say this of me, and I be content, That in the Master's work my life was spent; Say not that I was either great or good, But Mary-like, "She hath done what she could." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THEY ARE COMING? by JOSEPHINE DEPHINE HENDERSON HEARD TO WHITTIER by JOSEPHINE DEPHINE HENDERSON HEARD VERSES FROM THE GRANDE CHARTREUSE by MATTHEW ARNOLD THE GRASSHOPPER; TO MY NOBLE FRIEND MR.
