'O Thou who fashion'd her so beautiful,
Forgive the hapless love that wrought her doom!
How could my soul its questing impulse rule
Before a flower of such ethereal bloom!
Thou, only Thou, canst my dark fault annul,
Thou only canst speak comfort from the tomb!
For where she is there also would I be,
Save, Lord, I may not—till Thou cleansest me.
