Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from In Colima and Other Poems In Colima and Other Poems In Colima Was it a sin? - Ah, there I am at sea, Between the blind insistence of a soul That will not cease from brooding on the past And what our church, with no uncertain sound, Approves, bidding me rest at peace with God. The more I dwell upon the dreary day, A heavier drag these latter days appear. Confessions ease alone the itching tongue, Yet leave the seething heart no lasting peace. In sorrow have I lived, in sorrow die; God wills it; may His name be ever praised! At Crux, before the altar of the church, Robed in my priestly garb, I knelt in prayer, From early vespers on a Christmas Eve, Until the dawn of blessed Christmas Day; And all the burden of my prayer was peace, That I might know no trace of troubled change, Secure among my little flock might dwell, Till Death should slowly steal my quiet days. Then morning came, and with the growing dawn God´s love divine transformed my glowing soul. In all the joy of newly answered prayer, I fell from Heaven within the depths of Hell; For, as I turned, there came a sudden sound Of one who sinks in mortal agony. Alas! there lay before my very eyes, Among the flowers that decked the Virgin´s shrine, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
