THE CHRISTIAN by GLADYS CROMWELL

First Line: I WAS FREE. BUT NOW IN A NET I AM CAUGHT
Last Line: I CAN NOT EVADE IMMORTALITY.
Subject(s): DEATH; LOVE; SERMONS; SOLITUDE; DEAD, THE; LONELINESS;

I WAS free. But now in a net I am caught:
In a delicate net of love I am taken;
I, the lonely, whom nobody sought,
Can feel the poor and the sorrow-shaken
Draw the line of their yearning taut;
I am held by experience. When I die
Their net will draw me through fathoms of sky;
I can not evade immortality.
