Hello,
today I read this piece of poetry:
For the bread, which you have broken,
for the wine which you have poured,
for the words which you have spoken,
now we give you thanks, O Lord.
... (Louis F. Benson, 1924)
One word (highlighted in red) has confused me a little. I think the author used 'spoken' because it rhymes but we should use 'said' instead of 'spoken' in this case in day-to-day speech. Am I right? If I'm not, could I say so:
Sorry for what I have spoken yesterday.
???
Thanks
