Chapter 5: Father—Mother

Chapter 5: Father—Mother
God's Fellow-Creators
"Mary, when that little child
Lay upon your heart at rest,
Did the thorns, Maid-mother, mild,
Pierce your breast?

"Mary, when that little child
Softly kissed your cheek benign,
Did you know, O Mary mild,
Judas' sign?

"Mary, when that little child
Cooed and prattled at your knee,
Did you see with heart-beat wild,
Calvary?"
