UNPARDONED

"SOME things I never would forgive!"
So said you, dear, not knowing
That love is dead unless it live
All charity bestowing.


O you whose heart love so could brim
In cruel need, learn this of him
Whose all to you is owing:
The one wrong man can not forgive
Is the wrong of his own sowing!
