Call him not a heretic whose works attest
His faith in goodness by no creed confessed.
Whatever in love's name is truly done
To free the bound and lift the fallen one
Is done to Christ. Whose in deed and word
Is not against Him labors for our Lord.
When he, who, sad and weary, longing sore
For love's sweet service, sought the sisters door,
One saw the heavenly, one the human guest,
But who shall say which loved the Master best?
