Her Virtues Turned Us To Statues Poem by Mishack Mchunu

Her Virtues Turned Us To Statues



When the night
Chased us to rest;
Had my flesh to fight
Foreseeing the test,

Her character bold;
Divine and saint
As my thirst manifold
Far away from Chaste!

But lo! Whither
My heart travelled,
By the tempestuous weather,
She still kept me close; my soul marvelled

With a sigh;
How, fainted to the dust from lust, she lifts me high.
