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.
