[Yes, my Lord may justly leave me]

The last state of that man is worse than the first. —xii. 45.

Yes, my Lord may justly leave me,
Me who first my Lord forsook,

266

Never, never more forgive me,
Blot my name out of His book:
But if I, again forgiven,
Reach at last the happy shore,
How shall all the hosts of heaven
Shout, and wonder, and adore!
