Abraham to Kill Him

by Emily Dickinson

Abraham to kill him
Was distinctly told
Isaac was an Urchin
Abraham was old

Not a hesitation
Abraham complied
Flattered by Obeisance
Tyranny demurred

Isaacto his children
Lived to tell the tale
Moralwith a mastiff
Manners may prevail.

Poetry Quote of the Day

Its snaky acids kiss.
It petrifies the will. These are the isolate, slow faults
That kill, that kill, that kill.
