'Tis true -- They shut me in the Cold -- by Emily Dickinson
'Tis true -- They shut me in the Cold -- But then -- Themselves were warm And could not know the feeling 'twas -- Forget it -- Lord -- of Them --
Let not my Witness hinder Them In Heavenly esteem -- No Paradise could be -- Conferred Through Their beloved Blame --
The Harm They did -- was short -- And since Myself -- who bore it -- do -- Forgive Them -- Even as Myself -- Or else -- forgive not me --
