Religion
LXIV
From The Poetical Works of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Volume 2
Religion
And that voice, I heard it pleading, for love's sake, for wealth,
position,
For the sake of liberal uses and great actions to be done:
And she interrupted gently, "Nay, my lord, the old tradition
Of your Normans, by some worthier hand than mine is, should be won."
