Classic and Contemporary Poetry

ON CALVARY'S LONELY HILL by HERBERT CLARK JOHNSON

First Line: LET'S NOT BE SLOW IN KNOWING
Last Line: BEFORE THE CLEANSING'S DONE.
Let's not be slow in knowing
That these cold drops of rain
Have not the power to cleanse
The sinner's crimson stain.

For each sweet stolen hour
There'll be a bitter one
On some high lonely hill
Before the cleansing's done.
