THE RECOVERY (2), by                 Poet's Biography
First Line: Sin! Wilt thou vanquish me!
Last Line: Shall thee destroy; heal, feed, make me divine.
Subject(s): Sin


Sin! wilt thou vanquish me!
And shall I yield the victory?
Shall all my joys be spoil'd,
And pleasures soil'd
By thee!
Shall I remain
As one that's slain
And never more lift up the head?
Is not my Saviour dead!
His blood, thy bane, my balsam, bliss, joy, wine;
Shall thee destroy; heal, feed, make me divine.
