Island of Dreams
Eight Deadly Sins
Pride, a wreck where hope once stood -
Envy, grief for a neighbour’s good -
Cant and anger bring to Wrath
Defective love, the root of Sloth -
Weak-kneed Avarice covets all -
While Gluttony grooms Lust to crawl
Beside him, trembling, bathed in sweat -
Lord cleanse thy servant, but not yet!
