 | The complete poetical works of Oliver Wendell Holmes |  |
Let my free soul, expanding as it can,
Leave to his scheme the thoughtful Puritan;
But Calvin's dogma shall my lips deride?
In that stern faith my angel Mary died;
Or ask if mercy's milder creed can save,
Sweet sister, risen from thy new-made grave?

But Calvin's dogma shall my lips deride?
In that stern faith my angel Mary died;
