O FOOLISH SOUL! TO MAKE THY COUNT by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

Last Line: Save thee, O foolish soul
Subject(s): SOUL; FORGIVENESS; JESUS CHRIST;

O FOOLISH soul! to make thy count
For languid falls and much forgiven,
When like a flame thou mightest mount
To storm and carry heaven.

A life so faint,''"is this to live?
A goal so mean,''"is this a goal?
Christ love thee, remedy, forgive,
Save thee, O foolish soul.
