FORGIVENESS by ALICE CARY

Poet Analysis

First Line: OH, THOU WHO DOST THE SINNER MEET
Last Line: "GO THOU, AND SIN NO MORE!"
Subject(s): FORGIVENESS; CLEMENCY;

O THOU who dost the sinner meet,
Fearing his garment's hem,
Think of the Master, and repeat,
"Neither do I condemn!"
And while the eager rabble stay,
Their storms of wrath to pour,
Think of the Master still, and say,
"Go thou, and sin no more!"
