FATHER! IF WE MAY WELL ENDURE by RICHARD MONCKTON MILNES

Poet Analysis

Last Line: As hot as in your own may run
Subject(s): ISLAM; FORGIVENESS;
Father! if we may well endure
The ill that with our lives begins,
May'st Thou, to whom all things are pure.
Endure our follies and our sins!

Brothers! if we return you good
For evil thought or malice done,
Doubt not, that in our hearts a blood
As hot as in your own may run
