MY GOD, WILT THOU ACCEPT, AND WILL NOT WE, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
Last Line: Gratuitous
Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina
Subject(s): God; Gifts & Giving


My God, wilt Thou accept, and will not we
Give aught to Thee?
The kept we lose, the offered we retain
Or find again.

Yet if our gift were lost, we well might lose
All for Thy use:
Well lost for Thee Whose love is all for us
Gratuitous.
