Why temptation must I give in to thee?

Why, temptation, must I give in to thee,
Why fight then fall beneath your curse¢d grip,
Lost in moment’s madness, pleasure see,
The instant of my strength weakness, one slip?

Why, temptation, must your long shadow play
Strange yearnings unseen on my cleansed mind -
Renew thyself in death for thy new day
On one who replete to you’s now blind?

Temptation, I have this quarrel with you -
Your peace is but a pause before you strike ;
And worse, before my mortal pace is through
I fear with me you’ll do just as you like.
For I am foolish, proud, and not so strong:

Temptation - with me you can do no wrong.
