THEY AND THOU

They gave Thee bitter:
Thou giv’st us water.
They gave Thee death:
Thou giv’st us breath.
They gave Thee harm:
Thou giv’st us balm.
They gave Thee pain:
Thou giv’st us peace.
They gave Thee wounds:
Thou giv’st us wealth.
They gave Thee shame:
Thou giv’st us shade.
They gave Thee blame:
Thou giv’st Thy name.
