In self accusing, in this darkest hour

O hear me, and I pray thee pity me,

For I have sinned, O fool, unwise and blind!

And I am Atmâ; whom thou hadst designed

For life of sanctity and holy quest.

Lord, I am Atmâ, and I have transgressed;

I sought the Present whom we may not seek,

The Future whom I slighted went before

And waited arméd and my goods did take.

This is my sin that sent on high behest
