What shall be done with such an one,

And whither he be hurl'd?

The Lord let crucify His Son—

Who gibbetted His world?

Be it Pole Star or Southern Cross

That shelters me or you,

The same things are gain and loss,

And the same things true:

The home-love, the mother-love,

The old, old things;

The lad's love of maiden's love

That gives a man wings,

And makes a maid stand still, afraid

Lest it were all a dream

That he do think himself apaid

If she be all to him.
