Henceforth men shall remember me
Men of every ilk and class
Because of what I failed to see
When signs and wonders came to pass
And men shall judge my fault as weak
And I alone shall stand accused
But they would better fare to speak
Of others who, like me, refused
To welcome, with no small dispute,
The madness of the things they said
Did I alone deny, refute,
That he was risen from the dead?
Or did my brethren, when they heard
The women claim the tomb was bare,
Dismiss their witness as absurd
And denigrate what they did swear?
And at Emmaus there were two
Who recognised him as the Lord
And told the other brethren, who
Discounted them with one accord
Henceforth, when you remember me,
In judging me, as you may do,
Extend, at least, some sympathy
For I was weak, as they were, too.
