“LOVE they neighbour as thy Self”, the holy shepherd said,
Therefore open your heart to love, suffer all who labour
On their way. Raise weighty, anxious burdens from their head;
Love they neighbour.
With genial gentle mien and mild behaviour,
Be a calm blue oasis among the firey rocks of red,
Salve the souls of men and women as did our Saviour.
Dissolve all foolish fanciful fear and dark dire dread,
Don’t deny a broken beggar your generous favour,
So help to raise your brother Lazarus from the dead,
Love they neighbour.
