Abraham To Kill Him Poem by Emily Dickinson

Abraham To Kill Him

Rating: 2.8


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

Not a hesitation—
Abraham complied—
Flattered by Obeisance
Tyranny demurred—

Isaac—to his children
Lived to tell the tale—
Moral—with a mastiff
Manners may prevail.

A wounded deer leaps the highest, Those who hurt smile the brightest.
