Abstract

</figure><p id="cae9">O Lord to you I run and bleat and stop

To kiss your rod. And tenderly you stoop To me and hold back all my fears. You lead me on to taste of mead and milk And guide my wayward mouth and mind. Though I wander down to darkest roots of Hell

Options

Your rod and staff pursue me there as well. You feed me milk and meat before my foes And oil you rub on me from head to toes Till healed by kindness I incline to You forever.</p><p id="9048">First Published: <i>St. Katherine Review</i> 2017</p></article></body>

O Lord to you I run and bleat and stop To kiss your rod. And tenderly you stoop To me and hold back all my fears. You lead me on to taste of mead and milk And guide my wayward mouth and mind. Though I wander down to darkest roots of Hell Your rod and staff pursue me there as well. You feed me milk and meat before my foes And oil you rub on me from head to toes Till healed by kindness I incline to You forever.
