God made Adam out of dust,
But in His wisdom made me first;
He made my body all complete,
But gave ne neither hands nor feet.
No living soul in me did dwell,
Nor was / doomed to heaven or hell:
But later on old Adam came
And gave me what is still my name.
And later still God chose to give
A living soul in me to live.
In course of time He did reclaim
THAT soul and left me just the same
AS when first made-without soul.
