THE NEW JUDAS
Thee, Christ, I sought to sell all dayAnd hurried to the mart to holdA hundred heavy coins of goldAnd lo! they would not pay.
But “thirty pieces of silver” cried(Thine ancient price), and I agreed,Six for each of the wounds that bleedIn hands and feet and side.
“Including cross and crown” we priced,Is now their claim and I refuse,I will not bargain all to lose,I will not sell Thee, Christ!
