When it was day they came into my house and said,
" We shall only take the smallest room here. "
They said, " We shall help you in the worship of
your God and humbly accept only our share of his grace " ;
and then they took their seat in a corner and they sat quiet and meek.
But in the darkness of night I find they break
into my sacred shrine, strong and turbulent,
and snatch with unholy greed the
offerings from God's altar.
