The opening
POEM I. SELF-OBLATION.
SELF-OBLATION.
Vuestro soy, para Vos naci.
Lorp, I am Thine, for I was born for Thee! Reveal what is it Thou dost ask of me.
O sovereign Lord, of majesty supreme! O Wisdom, that existed from all time! O Bounty, showing pity on my soul! God, one sole Being, merciful, sublime, Behold this basest of created things, As thus, with hardihood its love it sings, And tell me, Lord, what Thou dost ask of me!
The whole book is in the Sphinx app.
