As reverently as they insist
Upon the one teaching of Jesus,
They turn a deaf ear toward another.
And one wonders at the heart
That is not equally inclined to the both―
And what insanity must have overcome it
That it should find no alarm in disobedience.
What delusion can this be?
Do they also cry out and
Cut themselves with rocks?
What, then, is this bleating of sheep?
