Day and night the Accuser makes no pause. Day and night protest the Righteous Laws, Good and Evil witness to man's flaws; Man the culprit, man's the ruined cause, Man midway to death's devouring jaws And the worm that gnaws. Day and night our Jesus makes no pause, Pleads His own fulfilment of all laws, Veils with His Perfections mortal laws, Clears the culprit, pleads the desperate cause. Plucks the dead from death's devouring jaws, And the worm that gnaws. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FAREWELL TO HIS WIFE by GEORGE GORDON BYRON LOVE'S CAUTION by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES THE DONG WITH A LUMINOUS NOSE by EDWARD LEAR BY THE SEA by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI FROLIC by GEORGE WILLIAM RUSSELL THE OLD CUMBERLAND BEGGAR by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH FILIPPO BALDINUCCI ON THE PRIVILEGE OF BURIAL by ROBERT BROWNING |
