Poems (Mary Coleridge)/Poem 123

​
CXXIII "REMEMBER NOT OUR INIQUITIES?"
"Remember not!" I say to Him whose faceIs as the earnest of eternal grace.
"Remember not!" If Thou remember all,Even from Thy grace even I, Thy child, must fall.
Yet on my knees I dare not breathe a prayerThat is but empty coinage of the air.
There shall not fail one tittle or one jot,And shall Thy children cry "Remember not!"
