Religion

Jump-to-Glory Jane: XIX

by George Meredith 1828–1909

From Poems — Volume 3

Religion

It really seemed on certain days,
When they bobbed up their Lord to praise,
And bobbing up they caught the glance
Of light, our secret is to dance,
And hold the tongue from hindering peace;
To dance out preacher and police.
