| "Large Turf" Albrect Durer
In Heaven
by
Stephen Crane
In heaven,
Some little blades of
grass
Stood before God.
"What did you do?" Then all save one of the little blades
Began eagerly to
relate
The merits of their
lives.
This one stayed a
small way behind,
Ashamed. Presently, God said,
"And what did
you do?"
The little blade answered, "Oh my Lord,
Memory is bitter to
me,
For, if I did good
deeds,
I know not of
them."
Then God, in all His
splendor,
Arose from His
throne.
"Oh, best little blade of grass!" He said. |
