If I have said to corruption, Thou art my father; To the worm, Thou artmy mother, and my sister;

and say to corruption, ‘You are my father,’ and to the worm, ‘My mother,’ or ‘My sister,’

To corruption I have called: --`Thou art my father.' `My mother' and `my sister' --to the worm.

I cry to the grave, Thou art my father! to the worm, My mother, and my sister!
