Blue stone

Adam, God made out of dust, But thought it best to make me first. So I was made before man, To answer God’s most holy plan. A living being I became, And Adam gave to me my name. I from his presence then withdrew And more of Adam never knew I did my makers law obey, Now never went from it astray. Thousands of miles I go in fear But seldom on earth appear. …

…great light behold. No right or wrong can I conceive, The scripture I cannot believe. Although my name therein is found, They are to me an empty sound. No fear of death doth trouble me. Real happiness I’ll never see. To heaven I shall never go Nor, to hell below. Now when these lines you slowly read, Go search your Bible with all speed. For my name is written there I do honestly declare.
