Poëzy

J.P. Hasebroek

11.

Humanity 's our duty, first of all! The Christ intreats that we should love each other: Why, thou wert call'd to be a spouse, a mother... How, Bigot! didst thou answer to that call? Thou wipest no tear, thou sharest no smile; by thee No head was e'er upheld with tender care; Thou didst not comfort, didst not shelter; there Exist for thee nor thanks nor sympathy.
