Psalm LXIV. 6. The Heart is Deep

by (1847–1900)

Listen in the reader

He that can trace a Ship making her way, Amidst the threatening Surges on the Sea; Or track a Towering Eagle in the Air, Or on a Rock find the Impressions there Made by a Serpents Footsteps. Who Surveys The Subtile Intreagues that a Young Man lays, In his Sly Courtship of an harmless Maid, Whereby his Wanton Amours are Convey'd Into her Breast; Tis he alone that can Find out the Cursed Policies of Man.
