Chapter 9
Confession by Redcliff Hall Read for libevoks.org by Julia Niedermeyer Within the portals of thy shrine, Before thy presence, dearest mine, I kneel beseeching thee to bless
My penitence while I confess, And can a saint do any less? If I have sinned as others do, All human hearts the wide world through Are erring things, and then with me
My greatest wrong was loving thee, Wilt thou condemn my constancy? Look down, dear heart, and let thine eyes Commend my soul to paradise. He little sins who sins in this
That to obtain eternal bliss, Seeks the communion of a kiss.
