LINES.

If GOD should say to me, Behold!—

Yea, who shall doubt?—

They who love others more than me,

Shall I not turn, as oft of old,

My face from them and cast them out?

So let it be with thee, behold!—

I should not care, for in your face

Is all GOD'S grace.

If GOD should say to me, Behold!—

Is it not well?—

They who have other gods than me,

Shall I not bid them, as of old,

Depart into the outer HELL?

So let it be with thee, behold!—

I should not care, for in your eyes

Is PARADISE.
