On a crutch, with the devil's geese,

A-mumbling that God is a lie,

And cursing the world without cease.

And my soul said, "This is Unfaith

Who maketh me that which she saith."

Then we came to a garden, close

To a hollow of graves and tombs;

A garden as red as a rose,

Hung over of obscene glooms;

The heart of each rose was a spark
