WHITENESS most white. Ah to be clean again In mine own sight and God's most holy sight! To reach thro' any flood or fire of pain Whiteness most white: To learn to hate the wrong and love the right Even while I walk thro' shadows that are vain, Descending thro' vain shadows into night. Lord, not to-day: yet some day bliss for bane Give me, for mortal frailty give me might, Give innocence for guilt, and for my stain Whiteness most white. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO MARILYN MONROE WHOSE FAVORITE COLOR WAS WHITE by MADELINE DEFREES FEBRUARY: THE BOY BREUGHEL by NORMAN DUBIE WEDDING CAKE by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE MY CRYSTAL BRIDE by WILLIAM EDWARD ADAMS THE TWO FLAMES by ELOISE BRITON NAILSWORTH HILL by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES IT IS FINISHED' by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI ITALIA, IO TI SALUTO!' by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI THE HEART KNOWETH ITS OWN BITTERNESS' (2) by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI |
