DENY ME NOT
by Judy Garland
Cry not to me, “though hast
wronged”
Say not, of my footsteps, “that
they be unheeding”
With steps so steady and sure
as time,
I tread into a sea of fire,
Of heartbreak, and of joy
supreme.
yet terrifying for its unending
depth, of fatality, humility,
tragedy, and through these,
ghostly reality.
God above, call not your wrath
upon me.
Demand me not to hate my love.
Order me to cast out my
heart.
Recognize its glowing purity.
Not incomprehension, which
mars its beauty.
Oh, God, deny not my love to me.
‘Tis helpless, ‘tis crippled.
Yet, ‘tis worthy of thee.
