Forgiveness
written by William Henry Davies
From "Forty New Poems", (1918) Link to further information




Stung by a spiteful wasp,
  I let him go life free;
That proved the difference
  In him and me.

For, had I killed my foe,
  It had proved me at once
The stronger wasp, and no
  More difference.
