OH what a Wreck! how changed in mien and speech! - ZaunköniG - 06.05.2007 OH what a Wreck! how changed in mien and speech! Yet--though dread Powers, that work in mystery, spin Entanglings of the brain; though shadows stretch O'er the chilled heart--reflect; far, far within Hers is a holy Being, freed from Sin. She is not what she seems, a forlorn wretch; But delegated Spirits comfort fetch To Her from heights that Reason may not win. Like Children, She is privileged to hold Divine communion; both do live and move, Whate'er to shallow Faith their ways unfold, Inly illumined by Heaven's pitying love; Love pitying innocence not long to last, In them--in Her our sins and sorrows past. |
