LATE TER GLORY, by EMMELINE LOWE First Line: She am late gittin' up Last Line: Bein' late gittin' inter glory. Subject(s): Lateness | |||
She am late gittin' up, She am late gittin' meals, She am late to retiah, An' she'll know how it feels Ter be late gittin' inter Glory. She am late ter de church, She am late ter de meetin'. She'll be late ter de gate When her soul hab gone fleetin', She'll be late gittin' inter Glory. She wuz late ter de weddin' An' she kep' her man waitin'. She'll be late ter her fun'el, But she'll cheat Ol' man Satan Bein' late gittin' inter Glory. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A LOVER'S ANGER by MATTHEW PRIOR THE NEW YORK CLUBWOMAN MEDITATES ON HAMLET by OLIVE TAIT SUTHERLAND WHY WAIT?
