BETRAYAL FOR ISCARIOT, by                    
First Line: They say I walked
Last Line: Upon me trod?


They say I walked
As in a dream.
As in a dream
They say I talked.

How came that purse
Within my hand?
Within my hand
How came that curse?

Why, when I ate
The broken bread,
Did the broken bread
Fill me with hate?

What devil's tryst
Came to my heart,
And through my heart
Flung up the Christ?

Why came His God
Within the night
And in the night
Upon me trod?
