By Christina Georgina Rossetti (18301894)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. | |
