Analysis of Creed
Gabriela Mistral 1889 (Vicuña) – 1957 (Hempstead)
I believe in my heart that when
The wounded heart sunk within the depth of God sings
It rises from the pond alive
As if new-born.
I believe in my heart that what I wring from myself
To tinge life’s canvas
With red of pallid hue, thus cloaking it
In luminous garb.
