A sample of Kedrin's poetry
A sample of Kedrin's poetry
"Confession" Look me into the eye, my child, Don't hide your face from mine. Believe, child, the eyes of a priest care for all hearts and thine. Your soul is full of sin, Attracted to great fire. Endow the church a pint of wine And you will be forgiven.
