"What nonsense, Mary, to be kneeling there So thinly clad, upon that sodden... ground As though that God of yours could hear your prayer 22 The Search for the Holy Spirit What consolation have you found For all your tears? This God you serve it seems to me Has treated you throughout the years right cruelly. "He took your husband ere his youth was past And left you here to carry on alone; He took your home in one financial blast And in another all you own; Not satisfied, he took from you your stalwart sons And sent them here as targets for the German guns. "I have no patience with the weakling soul That stoops supinely when the rod smites low; You owe Him nothing you, yourself control The life you lead, the path you go; What puzzles me you're not a cringing hypocrite And yet what cause have you to thank the Infinite?"
