BE ANGRY NOW NO MORE
Reading edition
Be angry now no more! If I have grieved thee—if Thy kindness, mine before, No hope may now restore: Only forgive, forgive!
If still resentment burns In thy cold breast, oh if No more to pity turns, No more, once tender, yearns Thy love; oh yet forgive!…
Ask of the winter rain June's withered rose again: Ask grace of the salt sea: She will not answer thee. God would ten times have shriven A heart so riven; In her cold care thou would'st be Still unforgiven.
