TO A CHRISTIAN LADY

 
______ 
 
MY soul in thine; thy Soul in mine; 
      Our hearts a unity, a tie; 
One thought, one soul, one wish, one mind;^__
      For I am thou, and thou art I. 
 
And yet, I thou? Can that be so? 
      Am I so pure, clean as a dove ? 
Ah me! My heart much Sin doth know; 
      'Tis stained; but white's that of my love. 
 
A heart hath evil and hath good: 
      Thou art the good; the evil, I: 
Thou giv'st the heart its holy mood, 
      But I the sins that in it lie,
