Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Leaves of Healing, and Other Poems
Spake thus the soul of a People Lord God, I am ill at ease! I fought the foes of thy Choosing; I guarded thy open seas; I wrought in a seething cauldron, And sounded the depths of hell: And naught did I seek as guerdon Save this Thou hast served Me well! I leapt to the fray with laughter, Nor counted the fearful cost; Must I who have rescued others Be robbed of my ancient boast? Lord God of the nations, hear me! Thy servant is stricken sore.
