If thou be dead, forgive and thou shalt live; If thou hast sinned, forgive and be forgiven; God waiteth to be gracious and forgive, And open heaven. Set not thy will to die and not to live; Set not thy face as flint refusing heaven; Thou fool, set not thy heart on hell: forgive And be forgiven. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ADVICE by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES MONDAY'S CHILD by MOTHER GOOSE NUPTIAL SLEEP by DANTE GABRIEL ROSSETTI THE HIGH TIDE AT GETTYSBURG [JULY 3, 1863] by WILL HENRY THOMPSON LINES FROM A PLUTOCRATIC POETASTER TO A DITCH-DIGGER by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS |
