Poems

"You call me Master, and you ask me nothing

From the February 1906 issue of The Christian Science Journal

From an inscription in a church at Lubeck


"You call me Master, and you ask me nothing.
"You call me the Light, and you do not see me.
"You call me the Way, and you do not follow me.
"You call me the Life, and you do not wish for me.
"You call me the Wise, and you do not imitate me.
"You call me the Good, and you do not love me.
"You call me the Rich, and ask for nothing.
"You call me the Eternal, and you do not seek me.
"You call me the Merciful, and you do not trust in me.
"You call me the Almighty, and you do not honor me.
"You call me the Just, and you do not fear me.
"If I condemn you, accuse only yourselves."
