Poem "To The Sacred Heart"

As June is the month dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, I'm posting this short poem from the old American Dominican journal Dominicana. It from vol. 1 issue no. 4, 1900.

TO THE SACRED HEART
Edwin Anoelo Leman

I my heart have oft times given
..To the creature, but in vain;
Cold repulse has swiftly driven
..Back my thoughts to Thee again.
I discerned that Thou wert jealous,
..Even of such love as mine,
And wouldst have me to be zealous
..Only for Thy Heart Divine.
