WISDOM, by EDWIN E. DEAL First Line: Do you know where good ends / and just where Last Line: Than the having of many worlds of wealth. Subject(s): Wisdom | ||||||||
Do you know where good ends, And just where bad begins -- Where the strongest link is in a chain, When to pull, and just where to refrain? To know these things is to win A just victory over sin; And does more to assure You of yourself, Than the having of many worlds of wealth. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HOPE IS NOT FOR THE WISE by ROBINSON JEFFERS SEVEN TWILIGHTS: 5 by CONRAD AIKEN SONG: NOW THAT SHE IS HERE; FOR JOE-ANNE by HAYDEN CARRUTH WISE: HAVING THE ABILITY TO PERCEIVE AND ADOPT THE BEST by LUCILLE CLIFTON WISDOM COMETH WITH THE YEARS by COUNTEE CULLEN FOR RANDALL JARRELL, 1914-1965 by NORMAN DUBIE THE MORTAL WORDS OF ZWEIK by PHILIP LEVINE THE DEPARTURE OF THE SWALLOW by WILLIAM HOWITT UPON MY LADY CARLISLE'S WALKING IN HAMPTON COURT GARDEN by JOHN SUCKLING |
