Classic and Contemporary Poetry
MY CREED, by HOWARD ARNOLD WALTER First Line: I would be true, for there are those who trust me Last Line: I would look up, and love, and laugh and lift. Subject(s): Religion; Theology | |||
I would be true, for there are those who trust me; I would be pure, for there are those who care; I would be strong, for there is much to suffer; I would be brave, for there is much to dare. I would be friend of all -- the foe, the friendless; I would be giving, and forget the gift, I would be humble, for I know my weakness, I would look up, and love, and laugh and lift. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MYSTIC BOUNCE by TERRANCE HAYES MATHEMATICS CONSIDERED AS A VICE by ANTHONY HECHT UNHOLY SONNET 11 by MARK JARMAN SHINE, PERISHING REPUBLIC by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE COMING OF THE PLAGUE by WELDON KEES A LITHUANIAN ELEGY by ROBERT KELLY |
