He did not care to see, but faint he heard
The hammer strokes, that seemed to drive the nails
Deep in his heart. Then turned he to a man
Who silent stood beside him, and he said:
“A stranger I, from Jaffa, yesternight
I came. This man? What evil hath He done?”
“I know not any wrong that He hath done,”
Came answer fast. “I only know the good
That He had wrought. Behold my eyes that see!
