Robert Louis Stevenson - The Celestial SurgeonRobert Louis Stevenson - The Celestial Surgeon
Work rating: Low


IF I have faltered more or less  In my great task of happiness;  If I have moved among my race  And shown no glorious morning face;  If beams from happy human eyes          Have moved me not; if morning skies,  Books, and my food, and summer rain  Knocked on my sullen heart in vain:—  Lord, thy most pointed pleasure take  And stab my spirit broad awake;          Or, Lord, if too obdurate I,  Choose thou, before that spirit die,  A piercing pain, a killing sin,  And to my dead heart run them in.
