Religion
The Only Refuge
Translated by Nicol Macnicol (1919) · From Psalms of Maratha Saints (1919)
Religion
I am a mass of sin;
Thou art all purity;
Yet thou must take me as I am
And bear my load for me.
Me Death has all consumed;
In thee all power abides.
All else forsaking, at thy feet
Thy servant Tuka hides.
