A poem written by St. John of Kronstadt.

The heart can change several

times in one moment

The heart can change several times in one moment
-to good or evil,

to faith or unbelief,

to simplicity or cunning,

to love or hatred,

to benevolence or envy,

to generosity or avarice,

O, what inconstancy!

O, how many dangers!

O, how sober and watchful we must be!
