By Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)O foolish soul! to make thy count
| O FOOLISH soul! to make thy count | |
| For languid falls and much forgiven, | |
| When like a flame thou mightest mount | |
| To storm and carry heaven. | |
| A life so faint,—is this to live? | 5 |
| A goal so mean,—is this a goal? | |
| Christ love thee, remedy, forgive, | |
| Save thee, O foolish soul. | |
