| SURELY if each one saw another’s heart, | |
| There would be no commèrce, | |
| No sale or bargain pass: all would disperse | |
| And live apart. | |
| Lord, mend or rather make us: one creation | 5 |
| Will not suffice our turn: | |
| Except Thou make us daily, we shall spurn | |
| Our own salvation. | |
