‘Twas Love – not me –
Oh punish – pray –
The Real one died for Thee –
Just Him – not me –
Such Guilt – to love Thee – most!
Doom it beyond the Rest –
Forgive it – last –
‘Twas base as Jesus – most!
Let Justice not mistake –
We Two – looked so alike –
Which was the Guilty Sake –
‘Twas Love’s – Now Strike!
(Emily Dickinson)
