February 17

Lord, I have fallen again—a human clod!

Selfish I was, and heedless to offend;

Stood on my rights. Thy own child would not send

Away his shreds of nothing for the whole God!

Wretched, to thee who savest, low I bend:

Give me the power to let my rag-rights go

In the great wind that from thy gulf doth blow.
