Forgiveness Lane<\/b><\/p>\n

FORGIVENESS LANE is old as youth,
\nYou cannot miss your way;
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u2122T is hedged with flowering thorn forsooth
\nWhere white doves fearless stray.\t<\/p>\n

You must walk gently with your Love,
\nFrail blossoms dread your feet\u00e2\u20ac\u201d
\nAnd bloomy branches close above
\nMake heaven near and sweet.\t<\/p>\n

Some lovers fear the stile of pride
\nAnd turn away in pain\u00e2\u20ac\u201d
\nBut more have kissed where white doves hide
\nAnd blessed Forgiveness Lane!<\/p>\n

– Martha Gilbert Dickinson<\/a><\/p>\n

Three Quatrains<\/b><\/p>\n

THE CUP<\/p>\n

SHE said, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Lift high the cup!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\n Of her arm\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s weariness she gave no sign,
\nBut, smiling, raised it up
\n That none might see or guess it held no wine.\t<\/p>\n

FORGIVE ME NOT!<\/p>\n

FORGIVE me not! Hate me and I shall know
\n Some of Love\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s fire still burns within your breast!
\nForgiveness finds its home in hearts at rest,
\n On dead volcanoes only lies the snow.\t<\/p>\n

THE ROSE<\/p>\n

ONE deep red rose I dropped into his grave,
\n So small a thing to give so great a friend!
\nYet well he knew it was my heart I gave
\n And must fare on without it to the end,\t<\/p>\n

– Lilla Cabot Perry<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
