A SAINT, by FREDERIC FAIRCHILD SHERMAN First Line: She made a sacrifice of love Last Line: Both day and night. Subject(s): Worship | ||||||||
She made a sacrifice of love To God above, And when He reads the open scroll Of her sweet soul He will find nothing written there But hymn and prayer. Her thoughts were like the lights divine Before a shrine; And she it was, a patient nun, Who kept each one About the altar always bright Both day and night. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...COMPANIONSHIP by MALTBIE DAVENPORT BABCOCK FOR I WILL CONSIDER YOUR DOG MOLLY by DAVID LEHMAN RUSSIAN CATHEDRAL by CLAUDE MCKAY LITTLE WHITE CHURCH by MARILYN NELSON A STEEPLE ON THE HOUSE by ROBERT FROST MATE (1) by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON ANSWER TO PRAYER by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON THE TEN COMMANDMENTS by GEORGE SANTAYANA A LOVE-THOUGHT by FREDERIC FAIRCHILD SHERMAN |
