<\/p>\nForgiveness, Lord\u2019s a morsel dipped
\nin wine and handed, sopping, to
\nhe who betrays you, who can\u2019t see
\nthe gift of you that\u2019s placed in hands
\nthat many times have compassed yours
\nand shared your work and those of whom,
\nthough near you now, too soon will run
\nwhen garden depths of olive peace
\nare broken by the tramp of feet
\nand fire brands and weapons\u2019 clash
\nthat \u2014 angry turn-coats \u2014 heal no harms,
\nor one who in his fear denies
\nat sunrise what should be proclaimed
\nand led from dark with cock\u2019s bright crow.
\nForgiveness, Lord, is like an ear
\nrestored to one who yet may hear.<\/p>\n
