Alternate Author Name(s): Cayzer, Charles
Subject(s): Hearts; Love; Memory
'Her life was innocent—in thought and deed—
Mine be the guilt, as mine the undying shame.
Thou, in Thy wisdom, hast her pure soul freed:
Never a maid to Thee more chastely came!
Thou knowest my heart and its exceeding need—
O pardon grant in Christ's most precious Name!
And evermore throughout my length of days
My penitence in stone to Thee I'll raise.'
