JUDGMENT DAY, by WILLIAM DEAN HOWELLS Poet's Biography First Line: Before him weltered like a shoreless sea Last Line: He lifted up the pity of his face. Alternate Author Name(s): Howells, W. D. | ||||||||
BEFORE Him weltered like a shoreless sea The souls of them that had not sought to be, With all their guilt upon them, and they cried, They that had sinned from hate and lust and pride, "Thou that didst make us what we might become, Judge us!" The Judge of all the earth was dumb; But high above them, in His sovereign place, He lifted up the pity of His face. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...IN EARLIEST SPRING by WILLIAM DEAN HOWELLS THE TWO WIVES by WILLIAM DEAN HOWELLS WHAT SHALL IT PROFIT? by WILLIAM DEAN HOWELLS A DOUBLE-BARRELLED SONNET TO MARK TWAIN: 1.
