THE DEDICATION, TO THE TEMPLE, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Lord, my first fruits present themselves to thee
Last Line: Theirs, who shall hurt themselves or me, refrain.


LORD, my first fruits present themselves to thee;
Yet not mine neither: for from thee they came,
And must return. Accept of them and me,
And make us strive, who shall sing best thy name.
Turn their eyes hither, who shall make a gain:
Theirs, who shall hurt themselves or me, refrain.
