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 BERTHA IN THE LANE by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING INGRATEFUL [OR UNGRATEFUL] BEAUTY THREATENED by THOMAS CAREW LITTLE BROWN BABY by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR HYSTERIA by THOMAS STEARNS ELIOT PERIMEDES, THE BLACKSMITH: PHILLIS AND CORIDON by ROBERT GREENE SONNET: 19.
