THE PEACE-OFFERING, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: It was but a little thing
Last Line: Through the mind!


IT was but a little thing,
Yet I knew it meant to me
Ease from what had given a sting
To the very birdsinging
Latterly.

But I would not welcome it;
And for all I then declined
O the regrettings infinite
When the night-processions flit
Through the mind!
