Explore "When my Heart is Vexed, I will Complain" by Christina Georgina Rossetti on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
"O Lord, how canst Thou say Thou lovest me? / Me whom thou settest in a barren land, / Hungry and thirsty on the burning sand, / Hungry and thirsty where no waters be / Nor shadows of date-bearing tree: -- / O Lord, how canst Thou say Thou lovest me?"
"I came from Edom by as parched a track, / As rough a track beneath My bleeding feet. / I came from Edom seeking thee, and sweet / I counted bitterness; I turned not back / But counted life as death, and trod / The winepress all alone: and I am God."
