GETHSEMANE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: INTO THE GARDEN OF SORROW
Last Line: IN THE HOUR THAT SORROW CALLS!
Subject(s): GETHSEMANE; GRIEF; SORROW; SADNESS;
Into the garden of sorrow,
Some day we all must roam,
If not to-day, then to-morrow,
Bow 'neath its purple dome,
Out from the musk-laden banqueting halls,
Doffing our mirth-spangled vestments like thralls,
Softly we wend to Gethsemane,
In the hour that sorrow calls!
