CHARITY

George Parsons Lathrop

Unarmed she goeth; yet her hands Strike deeper awe than steel-caparison'd bands. No fatal hurt of foe she fears,— Veiled, as with mail, in mist of gentle tears.

‘ Gainst her thou canst not bar the door: Like air she enters, where none dared before. Even to the rich she can forgive Their regal selfishness,— and let them live!
