Volume 6 — The Divine Loadstone.

"And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all things to myself." The Disciple. "Ah me! what doth my feet restrain, That I thy cross behold— A loadstone all divine— Drawing men's hearts with mystic chain As misers lured by gold, And yet it draws not mine?" The Master. "My word is very truth, my son; All hearts to me should freely run; And if I draw not thee As sweetly as the rest, 'Tis thou who wouldst the loadstone be, And draw the hearts of men to thee— Their love doth mine contest." The Disciple. "Nay, Lord; 'tis only for thy heart I pine." The Master. "Say'st so? Then give me, also, all of thine."
