God’s love is everywhere, but here is naught

Save love His anger slew.”

And as I stood

Lost in promiscuous bewilderment,

Which to my mazèd soul was wonder-food,

A girl in garments rent

Peered ’neath lids shamed

And spoke to me and murmured to my blood.

My soul stopped dead, and all my horror flamed

At her forgot of God.
