A little obtuse, but strikingly beautiful.

This is a brief, eloquent and honest auto-biographical poem about the unrelenting nature of God's love. The english is a bit archaic, but with a few readings and a little patience, you'll get the full meaning of the book, if not the specific meaning of each word. As it's very short, this won't require a lot of time. If my house were on fire and I could only take 10 books with me, this would be one.
