Ann Taylor, My Mother (Taylor)
“ Footnotes 1 2 Many years later, due to some criticism, Ann rewrote the last verse of this poem, which is included here. She said, "Young as I was when the original was written, I did not see, as I do now, its incongruity in tone with those preceding it. Still, I believe that all moral evil is sin; that all sin incurs the divine displeasure; but vengeance is a word I would not now employ." ”
