VIGIL OF ST.PETER by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

First Line: O JESU, GONE SO FAR APART
Last Line: THY PENITENT.
O JESU, gone so far apart
Only my heart can follow Thee,
That look which pierced St. Peter's heart
Turn now on me.

Thou who dost search me thro' and thro'
And mark the crooked ways I went,
Look on me, Lord, and make me too
Thy penitent.
