A poem by Edgar Lee Masters

Mrs. Meyers

________________________________________________
Title:     Mrs. Meyers
Author: Edgar Lee Masters [More Titles by Masters]

HE protested all his life long
The newspapers lied about him villainously;
That he was not at fault for Minerva's fall,
But only tried to help her.
Poor soul so sunk in sin he could not see
That even trying to help her, as he called it,
He had broken the law human and divine.
Passers by, an ancient admonition to you:
If your ways would be ways of pleasantness,
And all your pathways peace,
Love God and keep his commandments.






[The end]
Edgar Lee Masters's poem: Mrs. Meyers
