MAGDALEN, by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON Poet's Biography First Line: On the day that the world shall end my dear Last Line: And forfeited heaven for him. Alternate Author Name(s): Tremaine, John Subject(s): Mary Magdalen; Sacrifices; Women In The Bible; Mary Magdalene | ||||||||
On the day that the world shall end my dear I shall stand at the judgment bar Your name on my lips, your face in my heart Your love as my guiding star, And then I shall say to the God above As he looks through my soul for sin Only one great fault You will find, dear Lord, Inscribed on the scroll within. I have tended Your sheep and nurtured Your lambs, I have comforted hearts in despair, I have kept the commandments with never a pause Save the one You see written there, But You are my Judge and I hope You can find Some grace for a flaw so grim For I loved a mortal far more than my life And forfeited heaven for him. | Other Poems of Interest...MARY MAGDALENE by GEORGE BARLOW (1847-1913) AN ANNUAL OF THE DARK PHYSICS by NORMAN DUBIE MAUDLIN; OR, THE MAGDALEN€™S TEARS by LINDA GREGERSON FOR THE MAGDALENE by WILLIAM DRUMMOND OF HAWTHORNDEN MARY MAGDALENE by GEORGE HERBERT LENT by WILLIAM ROBERT RODGERS SONNETS ON PICTURES: MARY MAGDALEN AT THE DOOR OF SIMON THE PHARISEE by DANTE GABRIEL ROSSETTI MARY MAGDALEN by BARTOLOME LEONARDO DE ARGENSOLA MAGDALEN by GEORGE KENYON ASHENDON |
