St. Peter's Complaint

A small portion of the poem by St. Robert Southwell, S.J.

O pools of Hesebon ; the baths of grace,

Where happy spirits dine in sweet desires,

Where saints rejoice to glaze their glorious face.

Whose banks make echo to the angel's quires ;

An echo sweeter in the soul rebound,

Then angel's music in the fullest sound !
