Little things, that run, and quail, And die, in silence and despair! Little things, that fight, and fail, And fall, on sea, and earth, and air!

As we forgive those done to us, -- The lamb, the linnet, and the hare -- Forgive us all our trespasses, Little creatures, everywhere! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CENTENNIAL MEDITATION OF COLUMBIA by SIDNEY LANIER THE WHITE SHIP by DANTE GABRIEL ROSSETTI ADLESTROP by PHILIP EDWARD THOMAS FOUR SONNETS: 1 by FRANK DAVIS ASHBURN SPHINX-MONEY by MATHILDE BLIND MASKS OF DEATH by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN A ROUND by WILLIAM BROWNE (1591-1643) |
