LINES.

Madison Julius Cawein

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.
