He is atheist who serves
God that falters, Truth that swerves.
Graven images they make
Who their idols do not break.
They keep holy sabbath days
Only who are right always.
Honor to their parents give
They who teach a child to live.
They are murderers who will
In the cause of life not kill,
And a loveless marriage is
Greatest of adulteries.
He’s a thief who does not dare
Tale what tyrants ought to spare,
And false witness who’d deny
Truth the weapons of the lie,
While they covet not who are
In the dark, yet grasp the star.
