Last Line: Me and my gift
Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina
Subject(s): God; Gifts & Giving


Me and my gift: kind Lord, behold,
Be not extreme to test or sift;
Thy Love can turn to fire and gold
Me and my gift.

Myself and mine to Thee I lift:
Gather us to Thee from the cold
Dead outer world where dead things drift.

If much were mine, then manifold
Should be the offering of my thrift:
I am but poor, yet love makes bold
Me and my gift.
