T WAS the body of Judas Iscariot	A
Lay in the Field of Blood	B
T was the soul of Judas Iscariot	A
Beside the body stood	C
	-
Black was the earth by night	D
And black was the sky	E
Black black were the broken clouds	F
Tho the red Moon went by	E
	-
T was the body of Judas Iscariot	A
Strangled and dead lay there	G
T was the soul of Judas Iscariot	A
Look d on it in despair	G
	-
The breath of the World came and went	H
Like a sick man s in rest	I
Drop by drop on the World s eyes	J
The dews fell cool and blest	I
	-
Then the soul of Judas Iscariot	A
Did make a gentle moan	K
I will bury underneath the ground	L
My flesh and blood and bone	K
	-
I will bury deep beneath the soil	M
Lest mortals look thereon	N
And when the wolf and raven come	O
The body will be gone	N
	-
The stones of the field are sharp as steel	P
And hard and bold God wot	L
And I must bear my body hence	Q
Until I find a spot	L
	-
T was the soul of Judas Iscariot	L
So grim and gaunt and gray	R
Rais d the body of Judas Iscariot	L
And carried it away	R
	-
And as he bare it from the field	L
Its touch was cold as ice	S
And the ivory teeth within the jaw	T
Rattled aloud like dice	S
	-
As the soul of Judas Iscariot	L
Carried its load with pain	U
The Eye of Heaven like a lanthorn s eye	E
Open d and shut again	V
	-
Half he walk d and half he seem d	L
Lifted on the cold wind	L
He did not turn for chilly hands	W
Were pushing from behind	L
	-
The first place that he came unto	L
It was the open wold	L
And underneath were prickly whins	W
And a wind that blew so cold	L
	-
The next place that he came unto	L
It was a stagnant pool	X
And when he threw the body in	Y
It floated light as wool	Z
	-
He drew the body on his back	A2
And it was dripping chill	B2
And the next place that he came unto	L
Was a Cross upon a hill	B2
	-
A Cross upon the windy hill	B2
And a Cross on either side	L
Three skeletons that swing thereon	N
Who had been crucified	L
	-
And on the middle crossbar sat	L
A white Dove slumbering	C2
Dim it sat in the dim light	L
With its head beneath its wing	C2
	-
And underneath the middle Cross	W
A grave yawn d wide and vast	L
But the soul of Judas Iscariot	L
Shiver d and glided past	L
	-
The fourth place that he came unto	L
It was the Brig of Dread	L
And the great torrents rushing down	D2
Were deep and swift and red	L
	-
He dar d not fling the body in	Y
For fear of faces dim	E2
And arms were wav d in the wild water	F2
To thrust it back to him	E2
	-
T was the soul of Judas Iscariot	L
Turn d from the Brig of Dread	L
And the dreadful foam of the wild water	F2
Had splash d the body red	L
	-
For days and nights he wander d on	G2
Upon an open plain	U
And the days went by like blinding mist	L
And the nights like rushing rain	U
	-
For days and nights he wander d on	G2
All thro the Wood of Woe	H2
And the nights went by like moaning wind	L
And the days like drifting snow	H2
	-
T was the soul of Judas Iscariot	L
Came with a weary face	W
Alone alone and all alone	K
Alone in a lonely place	W
	-
He wander d east he wander d west	L
And heard no human sound	L
For months and years in grief and tears	W
He wander d round and round	L
	-
For months and years in grief and tears	W
He walk d the silent night	L
Then the soul of Judas Iscariot	L
Perceiv d a far off light	L
	-
A far off light across the waste	L
As dim as dim might be	L
That came and went like a lighthouse gleam	I2
On a black night at sea	L
	-
T was the soul of Judas Iscariot	L
Crawl d to the distant gleam	I2
And the rain came down and the rain was blown	K
Against him with a scream	I2
	-
For days and nights he wander d on	G2
Push d on by hands behind	L
And the days went by like black black rain	U
And the nights like rushing wind	L
	-
T was the soul of Judas Iscariot	L
Strange and sad and tall	J2
Stood all alone at dead of night	L
Before a lighted hall	J2
	-
And the wold was white with snow	H2
And his footmarks black and damp	K2
And the ghost of the silver Moon arose	W
Holding her yellow lamp	K2
	-
And the icicles were on the eaves	W
And the walls were deep with white	L
And the shadows of the guests within	Y
Pass d on the window light	L
	-
The shadows of the wedding guests	W
Did strangely come and go	H2
And the body of Judas Iscariot	L
Lay stretch d along the snow	H2
	-
The body of Judas Iscariot	L
Lay stretch d along the snow	H2
T was the soul of Judas Iscariot	L
Ran swiftly to and fro	H2
	-
To and fro and up and down	D2
He ran so swiftly there	G
As round and round the frozen Pole	L2
Glideth the lean white bear	G
	-
T was the Bridegroom sat at the tablehead	L
And the lights burn d bright and clear	M2
Oh who is that the Bridegroom said	L
Whose weary feet I hear	N2
	-
T was one look d from the lighted hall	J2
And answer d soft and slow	H2
It is a wolf runs up and down	D2
With a black track in the snow	H2
	-
The Bridegroom in his robe of white	L
Sat at the tablehead	L
Oh who is that who moans without	L
The blessed Bridegroom said	L
	-
T was one look d from the lighted hall	J2
And answer d fierce and low	H2
T is the soul of Judas Iscariot	L
Gliding to and fro	H2
	-
T was the soul of Judas Iscariot	L
Did hush itself and stand	L
And saw the Bridegroom at the door	O2
With a light in his hand	L
	-
The Bridegroom stood in the open door	O2
And he was clad in white	L
And far within the Lord s Supper	F2
Was spread so long and bright	L
	-
The Bridegroom shaded his eyes and look d	L
And his face was bright to see	L
What dost thou here at the Lord s Supper	F2
With thy body s sins said he	L
	-
T was the soul of Judas Iscariot	L
Stood black and sad and bare	G
I have wander d many nights and days	W
There is no light elsewhere	G
	-
T was the wedding guests cried out within	Y
And their eyes were fierce and bright	L
Scourge the soul of Judas Iscariot	L
Away into the night	L
	-
The Bridegroom stood in the open door	O2
And he wav d hands still and slow	H2
And the third time that he wav d his hands	W
The air was thick with snow	H2
	-
And of every flake of falling snow	H2
Before it touch d the ground	L
There came a dove and a thousand doves	W
Made sweet sound	L
	-
T was the body of Judas Iscariot	L
Floated away full fleet	L
And the wings of the doves that bare it off	P2
Were like its winding sheet	L
	-
T was the Bridegroom stood at the open door	O2
And beckon d smiling sweet	L
T was the soul of Judas Iscariot	L
Stole in and fell at his feet	L
	-
The Holy Supper is spread within	Y
And the many candles shine	Q2
And I have waited long for thee	L
Before I pour d the wine	Q2
	-
The supper wine is pour d at last	L
The lights burn bright and fair	G
Iscariot washes the Bridegroom s feet	L
And dries them with his hair	G
