One Source
God is praised for pleasure
God is cursed for pain
In one Source we measure every loss and gain
God is praised for couture
God is cursed for bleak
In one Source we measure every form and chic
God is praised for treasure
God is cursed for trash
In one Source we measure every bit and stash
God is praised for coiffure
God is cursed for auld
In one Source we measure every hair and bald
God is praised for leisure
God is cursed for test
In one Source we measure every slog and rest
