CHILDREN, there is a lady, who is younger far than all of you, who played your games, before you played them, with Cain and Abel, when they made them, and who will play them to the end with the last child, and his last friend. You do not know her name, nor will, but you may hear, when all is still, between the trample of this verse a quiet footstep that is hers. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE FAR-OFF DAY by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON THE BRAND OF CAIN by JOHN HENRY NEWMAN THE RELIGION OF CAIN by JOHN HENRY NEWMAN CAIN AND ABEL by MARY ELIZABETH PEARCE THE UNLIKE CHILDREN OF EVE: HOW GOD THE LORD TALKS TO THEM by HANS SACHS ANCIENT HISTORY by SIEGFRIED SASSOON |
