Be kind unto these three, O King! For they were fragrant-skinned, cheerful, and giving! Three stainless pearls! Three of mild winning ways! Three candles sending forth three pleasant rays! Three vines! Three doves! Three apples on a bough! Three graces in a house! Three who refused nohow Help to the needy! Three of slenderness! Three memories for the companionless! Three strings of music! Three deep holes in clay! Three lovely children who loved Christ alway! Three mouths! Three hearts! Three minds beneath a stone! Ruin it is! Three causes for the moan That rises for three children dead and gone! Be kind, O King, unto this two and one! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ELEGY: THE GHOST WHOSE LIPS WERE WARM; FOR GEOFFREY GORER by EDITH SITWELL ANGLOSAXON STREET by EARL (EARLE) BIRNEY THE SINGERS OF DELLA ROBBIA by ALFRED BARRETT UNEASY PEACE by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN DEBORAH LEE by WILLIAM HENRY BURLEIGH SIDNEY'S ASTROPHEL AND STELLA: CANTO QUINTO.
