"SHE hath done what she could." It was thus that He spake of her, Trembling and pale as the penitent stood. "And this she hath done shall be told for the sake of her, Told as embalmed in the gift that I take of her, Take, as an earnest of all that she would Who hath done what she could. "She hath done what the could: Lo, the flame that hath driven her Downward, is quenched! and her grief like a flood In the strength of a rain-swollen torrent hath shriven her: Much hath she loved and much is forgiven her; Love in the longing fulfils what it would -- She hath done what she could." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE CONVERGENCE OF THE TWAIN; LINES ON LOSS OF THE TITANIC by THOMAS HARDY ON SEEING THE ELGIN MARBLES by JOHN KEATS THE SPIRIT OF SHAKESPEARE: 2 by GEORGE MEREDITH A CHARACTER by ALFRED TENNYSON PEARLS OF THE FAITH: 67.
