Alone with all the shadows of the past.


Alone with all the shadows of the past.


I saw my earthly life glide past in vision. 

Scene after scene, forgotten long ago.


How blind—insanely blind, had I not been!

The sight of all my crimes confounded me.

They crushed my spirit with their leaden weight. 


At last, I whispered


Punish me, oh Lord!


The voice replied


God claims no penalty.

Sin punishes itself. 

Each evil seed

Allowed to grow in wanton liberty

Must bear its bitter crop of pain and woe.

Karadja, Dodd,  Towards the Light—A Mystic Poem, Princess Mead and Company, New York, 1908
