THE BOOK OF MARTYRS, by EMILY DICKINSON Poet's Biography First Line: Read, sweet, how others strove Last Line: Into renown! Subject(s): Martyrs | ||||||||
READ, sweet, how others strove, Till we are stouter; What they renounced, Till we are less afraid; How many times they bore The faithful witness, Till we are helped, As if a kingdom cared! Read then of faith That shone above the fagot; Clear strains of hymn The river could not drown; Brave names of men And celestial women, Passed out of record Into renown! | Other Poems of Interest...COLLOQUY IN BLACK ROCK by ROBERT LOWELL THE READER OF THE SENTENCES by NORMAN DUBIE TO THE MARTYRED by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON HE GOADS HIMSELF by LOUIS UNTERMEYER THE LITANY: 10.
