SHALL NOT THE JUDGE OF ALL THE EARTH DO RIGHT? by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

Last Line: Remember, Lord, and do
Subject(s): JUDGMENT DAY;

Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
Yea, Lord, altho' Thou say me nay;
Shall not His Will be to me life and light?
Yea, Lord, altho' Thou slay.

Yet, Lord, remembering turn and sift and see,
Remember tho' Thou sift me thro'.
Remember my desire, remember me,
Remember, Lord, and do.
