Analysis of Given The Thought



Forgiving was, as forgiving is, as it almost always does,
Emotion that we all are sane, or as the thought once was;
To be given now or be given late, it never all does seem,
When everything is enlarged, it seems but quite a scheme;

Whichever seems, or whatever does, may be sure a boast,

To do just what was meant to do, but maybe not by all,
Might bring out, indside of it, a huge, but gradual, fall.
