THE BALANCE by WINIFRED LUCAS

First Line: MUST I ENDURE WITH NOTHING TO FORGIVE
Last Line: BE BUT THE AMENDS I MAKE.
Subject(s): LOVE - COMPLAINTS;

MUST I endure with nothing to forgive,
Who did a shade wrong thee?
Oh love, an instant less than perfect live,
A little injure me.

Wound me at last. For once a word of mine
Thy service did forsake.
Deal harshly now, lest all of me that's thine
Be but the amends I make.
