Explore "Mrs. Meyers" by Edgar Lee Masters on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
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.
