THE CONFESSIONAL
SPAIN

It is a lie—their Priests, their Pope,

Their Saints, their ... all they fear or hope

Are lies, and lies—there! through my door

And ceiling, there! and walls and floor,

There, lies, they lie—shall still be hurled

Till spite of them I reach the world!

You think Priests just and holy men!

Before they put me in this den

I was a human creature too,
