MY SINS AND I, by LEXIE DEAN ROBERTSON Poet's Biography First Line: I took my little secret sins Last Line: And they are with me still! Subject(s): Sin | ||||||||
I TOOK my little secret sins Down to the creek to drown, Five cunning ones of black and white And two of shining brown. I set them down in one long row And bade them meditate Upon their foolish wicked ways That led them to this fate. They looked at me so wistfully And promised to be good, I yielded to their pleading eyes And hid them in the wood. But when I had reached home again, There perched upon my sill Were all those naughty sins of mine, And they are with me still! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SEVEN STREAMS OF NEVIS by GALWAY KINNELL CHANEL NO. 5 by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR BROTHERS: 4.
