ECCLESIASTES

There is one sin: to call a green leaf grey,

Whereat the sun in heaven shuddereth.

There is one blasphemy: for death to pray,

For God alone knoweth the praise of death.

There is one creed: ‘neath no world-terror’s wing

Apples forget to grow on apple-trees.

There is one thing is needful—everything—

The rest is vanity of vanities.
