The Law - ZaunköniG - 11.06.2007 The Law Yea, is it so? will death relieve the soul Of its most secret and inveterate sin? Will all be altered when behind the goal Set to the flesh, the spirit shall pass in? It cannot be; as we have lived we die; Prone in the arms of our unrighteous deeds At the last moment we shall surely lie And so pass forth. Nothing there is but breeds The thing it is; evil shall still be so, Though spirit-borne into ethereal ways; Yet there perchance a stronger will may grow, To do some work which God may bless with praise As being good; a new environment Remoulds us till we lose the old intent. |
