The Rambling Sailor/Friend, Wherefore———?

​
FRIEND, WHEREFORE———?
 I WILL not count the years—there are days too—  And to-night again I have said   "What if you should be lying dead?"Well, if it were so, I could only lay my head    Quietly on the pillow of my bed  Thinking of Him on whom poor sufferers cried  Suffering Himself so much before He died:  And then of Judas walking three years by His side—  How Judas kissed Him—how He was crucified.      Always when I see you       I see those two;      Oh! God it is true  We do not, all of us, know what we do;      But Judas knew.
