Public Domain Poetry And Stories - Once in a Saintly Passion by James Thomson - (Bysshe Vanolis) Public domain poetry and public domain stories from the literary greats of yesteryear.
Once in a saintly passion
I cried with desperate grief,
"O Lord, my heart is black with guile,
Of sinners I am chief."
Then stooped my guardian angel
And whispered from behind,
"Vanity, my little man,
You're nothing of the kind."
