TEMPTATION by ANNA BUNSTON DE BARY

First Line: THE FLOODS ARISE -- O GOD! THE FLOODS ARISE
Last Line: THE FRIGHTFUL SIEGE OF THEIR UNHALLOWED HANDS.
Subject(s): FLOODS;
THE floods arise—O God! the floods arise,
And wash my slain from out their burial sands;
O hide me from the onslaught of their eyes,
The frightful siege of their unhallowed hands.
