Undesigning Resolve

Concealed from thine eyes
cloak of divine asset
obscured from acrid soul
cast off by knavery of love

Redeem thy distinguished power
for commission unperfected
a dubious heart anemic
desiring sweet refuge thereof

Bring forth yearned conviction
for time is of eminence
lest the spirit decease its
single undesigning resolve.
