The Sin that I have wrought, I know not;

The unclean that I have eaten, I know not;

The offense into which I have walked, I know not. …

The lord, in the wrath of his heart, hath regarded me;

The god, in the anger of his heart, hath surrounded me;

A goddess, known or unknown, hath wrought me sorrow. …

I sought for help, but no one took my hand;

I wept, but no one harkened to me. …

The feet of my goddess I kiss, I touch them;

To the god, known or unknown, I utter my prayer;

O god, known or unknown, turn thy countenance, accept my

sacrifice;

O goddess, known or unknown, look mercifully on me! accept

my sacrifice!
