A KNOCKING at my heart -- and what art thou? "I was the unforgiven; from your door You spurned me once and bade me come no more. @3I am the ever present suppliant now."@1 A famine at my heart -- and what art thou? "I was that Lazarus, of men the least, Whom once you sent anhungered from your feast. @3I am the ever present hunger now."@1 An aching at my heart -- and what art thou? "I was that love you chose once to deride, Who, wounded at your threshold, fell and died. @3I am the ever present longing now."@1 A sweetness at my heart -- and what art thou? "I was the kindly deed you quite forgot, The joy bestowed that you remember not. @3I am your Angel of Forgiveness now."@1 | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONNET: 144 by WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE MADISON CAWEIN by MARGARET STEELE ANDERSON THE VIERZIDE CHAIRS by WILLIAM BARNES DON QUIXOTE by CRAVEN LANGSTROTH BETTS WHERE IS ARCADY? by HARRY RANDOLPH BLYTHE EPISTLE FROM ESOPUS TO MARIA by ROBERT BURNS THE EARTHLY HOUSE by PHOEBE CARY THE LAST CUP OF CANARY; SIR HARRY LOVELOCK, 1645 by HELEN GRAY CONE |
