DENIAL by WINIFRED LUCAS

First Line: HIGH HEAVEN DENIES ME TO MYSELF. NO BLAME
Last Line: THAT MADE THEM ME.
Subject(s): GRIEF; SHAME; SIN; SORROW; SADNESS;

HIGH heaven denies me to myself. No blame
Nor praise I win.
Renounce me, Sorrow, and deny me, Shame!
Forsake me, Sin!

I was a will, I was a heart, a soul,
As men may be;
But all have slipped the shadow of control
That made them me.
