-
a poem by Emily Dickinson
-
- My worthiness is all my doubt,
- His merit all my fear,
- Contrasting which, my qualities
- Do lowlier appear;
-
- Lest I should insufficient prove
- For his beloved need,
- The chiefest apprehension
- Within my loving creed.
-
- So I, the undivine abode
- Of his elect content,
- Conform my soul as 'twere a
church
- Unto her sacrament.
