First Line: I see no good in anything, but aye the / shadow of an ill
Last Line: Nay, this is death instead of life. May god have mercy on my soul!
Subject(s): God; Mercy; Suspense
I SEE no good in anything, but aye the shadow of an ill,
And behind every windy copse I fear an ambush lurking still.
Beneath each simple word well-meant I burrow for the deep design.
My feet are wary of the springe. I fear the under-flaming mine.
Nothing there is, as erst of old, that takes my being sweet and whole. ...
Nay, this is death instead of life. May God have mercy on my soul!
