L
CONFESSION
IN Adam's sin Did I begin.
With toil and sweat My bread I get;
At once, with Abel Spread my table,
Rebel with Cain And sin again.

O'er all the earth, (Which is my birth),
I joy to find My human kind;
Read in the sky That I must die,
Yet needs must sing When it is spring.
And though I run Before the sun,
By autumn brought To steady thought,
I still rehearse The primal curse,
And in the snow Confess my woe.
Yet here apart, Deep in my heart,
Kin to the sod I wait for God.
