Remorse'is Memory'awake

744

Remorse-is Memory-awake-
Her Parties all astir-
A Presence of Departed Acts-
At window-and at Door-

Its Past-set down before the Soul
And lighted with a Match-
Perusal-to facilitate-
And help Belief to stretch-

Remorse is cureless-the Disease
Not even God-can heal-
For 'tis His institution-and
The Adequate of Hell-
