SUCH A DEVOTION?

Compare to what ye say of them upon thine assumption,
I say if I compare between alcoholic and water,
What say ye of thine self if somebody tells thee this water
Of a cup that will save thy throat, and of a bucket
That will hygiene thy body as if thee art in a cleansing lake?

Come, come, you said, where, where, but come,
Compare to what thee think of thyself when thou sayth,
Where, where, but they said, come!
Such a bold voice all over the place,
But how thou think is how ye seek of thy own self.

Nobody knows what I think inside my head, and feel inside my heart,
But someone come and say, come, for ye need this so much from me,
But what say ye of thine self if somebody tells this water,
Of an everlasting potion that will serve ye to the Miracle Creator?
Oh, said they, such a religious, such a devotion!
