Facing, doubly inconsolable
These life came to condemn
As no sweet thing to dally with
Though first of praises, kisses soaked
There, now locked behind them
Their shame, a mercy-pled cynic's
Softened: 'Turn back around.
Something grander, with child-like joy
To be accessed, dear child of mine
Awaits. O Heaven-bound! '
