What if Eden and Gethsema!ne
were in the selfsame place?
Then, in the spot where Adam fell,
knelt Christ to take his place.
Perhaps the tree of knowledge stood
where Peter fell asleep!
He lacked that night the stamina
his holy watch to keep.
The Via Dolorosa starts
where Peter struck the slave.
Passion cancels passion out
when there are souls to save.
