This work is respectfully inscribed to my friend, C. Downing, of
Brunswick, Georgia, whose clear brain, kind heart and

free hand is an example and inspiration

An honest heart is one that strongly feels

The pulse of passion and the throb of pain,
But asks assistance from a healthy brain

To stem all morbid current sentiment, should it steal
Into the veins with darkening stain;

A heart light beating, which may reveal
The torch of sin but struggles free again,
Repentant, looking to the Lamb who heals.
Not such my heart, a football for the crowd,
Now high in air, now trampled on the ground,
Till bruised, benumbed, and ossified, it lies,
And mercy, Lord, should mutter ere it dies.
