PILGRIM, by ALLETAH DICKENSON First Line: Let me stand Last Line: Of an overburnt altarcloth. | |||
Let me stand In the outer recesses Of your heart's shrine. I do not wish A swifter entry To your soul Than by pain-marked steps. For those who enter quickly Sooner taste the ashes Of an overburnt altarcloth. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ENDYMION by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW HOMAGE TO SEXTUS PROPERTIUS: 1 by EZRA POUND THE HOUSE OF LIFE: 69.
