THE WALL OF HATE, by AGNES I. EASON First Line: The master builder set his crew to work Last Line: When they try to tear it down. Subject(s): Hate | ||||||||
The master builder set his crew to work To build a house that would endure, Malice crept into the plan and laughed, While distrust readied a wall of hate, Each brick a heartache, the mortar moist With blood of murdered love -- The building is the envy of the city, But two souls crouch warily, On either side that wall of hate, They only build it higher When they try to tear it down. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LOVE THE WILD SWAN by ROBINSON JEFFERS HATRED by GWENDOLYN B.
