Should somebody one day knock at your
Announcing he's an emissary of mine,
Never believe him, nor that it is I;
For to knock does not go with my vainglory,
Even at the unreal door of the sky.
But should you, naturally and without
Anyone knock, come to your door, unbar
And find somebody waiting (it appears)To dare to knock, give it some thought.
It
My emissary and I and the retinue of my
In what drives to despair and what despairs.
Unbar to who does not knock at your door!
