“My worthiness is all my doubt, His merit all my fear, Contrasting which, my qualities Do lowlier appear ; Lest I should insufficient prove For his beloved need, The chiefest apprehension Within my loving creed. So I, the undivine abode Of his elect content, Conform my soul as 't were a church Unto her sacrament.” — Emily Dickinson
My worthiness is all my doubt,
His merit all my fear,
Contrasting which, my qualities
Do lowlier appear ;
Lest I should insufficient prove
For his beloved need,
The chiefest apprehension
Within my loving creed.
So I, the undivine abode
Of his elect content,
Conform my soul as 't were a church
Unto her sacrament.
