He forgot—and I—remembered lyrics
by Emily Dickinson

He forgot—and I—remembered
'Twas an everyday affair
Long ago as Christ and Peter
"Warmed them" at the "Temple fire."
"Thou wert with him"—quoth "the Damsel"?
"No"—said Peter, 'twasn't me
Jesus merely "looked" at Peter
Could I do aught else—to Thee?
