TO me thou wert faithful and steady, And madest for me supplication; In my troubles and sad tribulation Thy comfort always was ready. Food and drink thou gav'st me in payment, And plenty of money didst lend me, And also a passport didst send me, As well as some changes of raiment. From heat and from coldness unpleasant May heaven, my dear one, long guard thee, And may it never reward thee The kindness shown me at present! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE REWARD by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON GIANT RED WOMAN by CLARENCE MAJOR THE OLD MAN DREAMS by OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES THE LAY OF THE OLD WOMAN CLOTHED IN GREY; A LEGEND OF DOVER by RICHARD HARRIS BARHAM POETIC STUFF by MORRIS GILBERT BISHOP A HYMN OF IMAGINATION by GORDON BOTTOMLEY |
