DAY AND NIGHT THE ACCUSER MAKES NO PAUSE, by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI Poet Analysis Poet's Biography Last Line: And the worm that gnaws Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina Subject(s): Salvation | |||
Day and night the Accuser makes no pause. Day and night protest the Righteous Laws, Good and Evil witness to man's flaws; Man the culprit, man's the ruined cause, Man midway to death's devouring jaws And the worm that gnaws. Day and night our Jesus makes no pause, Pleads His own fulfilment of all laws, Veils with His Perfections mortal laws, Clears the culprit, pleads the desperate cause. Plucks the dead from death's devouring jaws, And the worm that gnaws. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LEEK STREET by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR THE FEATHER AT BREENDONCK by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR AT THE DEATH OF A MONGOLIAN PEASANT by NORMAN DUBIE THE DESERT DEPORTATION OF 1915 by NORMAN DUBIE THE MERCY SEAT by NORMAN DUBIE LIKE ANY OTHER MAN by GREGORY ORR IT IS FINISHED' by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI ITALIA, IO TI SALUTO!' by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI THE HEART KNOWETH ITS OWN BITTERNESS' (2) by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI |
