Batter My Heart

Posted on March 5, 2026April 4, 2026 by D.S.

Batter my heart, three-person’d God, for you
As yet but knock, breathe, shine, and seek to mend;
That I may rise and stand, o’erthrow me, and bend
Your force to break, blow, burn, and make me new.

– John Donne from Holy Sonnets: Batter my heart, three-person’d God
