Alternate Author Name(s): Faulks, Frederick J., Mrs.
Subject(s): Hate; Lies; Love; Sin
THE sin I did for Love's sake
Lies in the soul of me,
And lights me far as some white star
Whose strength is purity.
The sin I did for Hate's sake --
Ah heart, that this should be! --
Has bound the feet that would be fleet,
The eyes that fain would see.
