Religion
The Peace-offering
From Moments of Vision and Miscellaneous Verses
Religion
IT was but a little thing,
Yet I knew it meant to me
Ease from what had given a sting
To the very birdsinging
Latterly.
But I would not welcome it;
And for all I then declined
O the regrettings infinite
When the night-processions flit
Through the mind!
