PAR, by CLIFTON E. BLAKE First Line: I took my sin to market Last Line: They trembled when I passed. | |||
I took my sin to market And led it through the town; The people flocked about me, And didn't even frown: They paid me money down. I took my love to market And cried it on the square; The people came to see it And called it pretty ware: They bade me keep it there. I took my soul to market. The people stood aghast; They ran into their houses And locked the shutters fast: They trembled when I passed. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SPIRITUAL ISOLATION: A FRAGMENT by ISAAC ROSENBERG NAPEOLON'S FAREWELL; FROM THE FRENCH by GEORGE GORDON BYRON SONNETS TO LAURA IN LIFE: 109 by PETRARCH ODES: BOOK 2: ODE 13.
