18
Come now, and let us reason
together,
saith the Lord: though your sins
be
as scarlet, they shall be as white
as
snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
Sonnet
705 Isaiah 1:18
The
beauty and the poetry of this
The
red and white and crimson and the wool
Togetherness
as kind as any kiss
The
scarlet and the reasoning with snow.
A
message of eternal love and hope
An
invitation reconciling sin
Atonement
in its meaning and its scope
A
melody to cancel all chagrin.
Come
now, come now, come now. The plea
The
parent pleading, promising and mild
Come
now, don't wait, come now and be-
Come
pure and clean, and mine, beloved child.
The
sweetest kindest invitation yet
An
everlasting life without regret.
