A CIVIC CATECHISM, by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS Poet's Biography First Line: Here is the city; and what shall it be? Last Line: Wealthy, and righteous, and goodly to see. | |||
"Here is the City; and what shall it be?" Wealthy, and righteous, and goodly to see. "How shall the City be shining and fair?" Wealth is to find its security there. "What is the safety and sunshine of wealth?" Spirit in righteousness, body in health. "Poverty, Ugliness, Evil accursed, All to be banished, but which of them first?" All of them first; they're a unit, those three: Wealthy, and righteous, and goodly to see. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A BELATED MEMORIAL by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS A BIBLE LOVER'S THANKSGIVING by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS A BIT OF GOOD WORK by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS A BOY'S SUPERIORITY by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS A BUILDING SITE by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS A CAPE COD WOOD ROAD by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS A CERTAIN EDITOR by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS A CHALLENGE TO WORRY by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS A CHANCE MEETING by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS A CHANT FOR PATRIOTS by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS |
