HYMN, by PHINEAS FLETCHER Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Drop, drop, slow tears Last Line: See sin, but through my tears. Variant Title(s): A Litany Subject(s): Tears | |||
DROP, drop, slow tears, And bathe those beauteous feet Which brought from Heaven The news and Prince of Peace: Cease not, wet eyes, His mercy to entreat; To cry for vengeance Sin doth never cease. In your deep floods Drown all my faults and fears; Nor let His eye See sin, but through my tears. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BANGLA DESH: 2.
