Us from battening on hope,
Thrown us down an end of rope!
This was coming, and you knew,
Could you treat a lover so!
Ah! you moon, you fickle one,
Traitor, like the cruel sun.
A Little Poem on Sin
Christ, since I turned my back upon your altars
Us from battening on hope,
Thrown us down an end of rope!
This was coming, and you knew,
Could you treat a lover so!
Ah! you moon, you fickle one,
Traitor, like the cruel sun.
Christ, since I turned my back upon your altars
