Depart from Me

Depart from Me! Ye who with clamour rudely

Disturb the quiet of the peaceful night.

Within My house a congregation goodly

Of princes panoplied with spotless light

Are banqueting with songs of exultation,
And ye disturb them with your lamentation.

Depart from Me! Why in the darkness standing

And knocking at a door forever closed,

Admittance so persistently demanding,

When I to welcome you am not disposed?

Your lamps ye should have kept both bright burning and
In expectation of your Lord
