Haste!—deliver and delay not;—

Let my outcasts dwell with thee.[B]

Shelter thou shalt not refuse him,

Lest, with him, his Lord ye slight;[C]

When, at noon, the foe pursues him,

Make thy shadow dark as night.

With thee shall he dwell, protected,

Near thee, cherished by thy side;

Though degraded, scorned, neglected,—

Thrust him not away, in pride.[D]
