Benediction (English Sestet) [1] Poem by Gert Strydom

Benediction (English Sestet) [1]



Let God from you keep all kinds of evil
let Him banish all kinds of constant fear,
all wicked men, fiends, the very devil;
while His mighty angels always draw near,
draw a fiery laager around you walls,
that they may only be hallowed halls.
