Innocence
Her step was light and free;
No shame nor worry
Clouded her fair brow.
Her conscience clear,
Without a fear,
Was clean and pure as she.
I asked this maid
What her name be,
And she answered with,
"My name is Innocence."
Her kind is fading into the mist,
For no longer does the world admire
The maid name Innocence.

Wow girly layout!
That poem is great.
Very nice, Carey.
unfortunatly it is very true.
It is very unfortunate. Innocence is even mocked in some Christian circles (like my South Africa mission team).
"Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves." (Matthew 10:16)
Shouldnt it be: Without a fear, As clean and pure was she? I dk I just didnt understand that line for a second.
Have a good day!
LOL, Jules. You need "was" in there as a being verb. It wouldn't make sense to say "Her conscience clear,without a fear, as clean and pure was she." That's an incomplete sentence. By placing "was" at the beginning of line 6, stanza 1, you have a complete sentence: "Her conscience clear, without a fear, was clean and pure as she."
