Caritas
Ralph Waldo Emerson
1803 to 1882
In the suburb, in the town,
On the railway, in the square,
Came a beam of goodness down
Doubling daylight everywhere:
Peace now each for malice takes,
Beauty for his sinful weeds,
For the angel Hope aye makes
Him an angel whom she leads.
Ralph Waldo Emerson's Caritas
I am busy working to bring Ralph Waldo Emerson's "Caritas" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about Ralph Waldo Emerson's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "Caritas" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
