My Soul—accused me—And I quailed

My Soul—accused me—And I quailed—
As Tongue of Diamond had reviled
All else accused me—and I smiled—
My Soul—that Morning—was My friend—

Her favor—is the best Disdain
Toward Artifice of Time—or Men—
But Her Disdain—'twere lighter bear
A finger of Enamelled Fire—

    just saw My Soul—accused me—And I quailed again, luv the line "As Tongue of Diamond had reviled", read it when I was young too.
