THE CHILD

AT NAZARETH

ONCE, measuring His height, He stood
Beneath a cypress-tree,
And, leaning back against the wood,
Stretched wide His arms for me;
Whereat a brooding mother-dove
Fled fluttering from her nest above.

At evening He loved to walk
Among the shadowy hills, and talk
Of Bethlehem;
But if perchance there passed us by
The paschal lambs, He'd look at them
In silence, long and tenderly;
And when again He'd try to speak,
I've seen the tears upon His cheek.

ST. THERESA AND THE CHILD

"WHO art thou, son?" The little stranger smiled,
"And who art thou?" Whereto she made reply,
"Theresa I of Jesus am, my child."
He—radiant—"Jesus of Theresa I."

TRADITION

WHEN home our blessed Lord was gone,
His mother lived alone with John;
For each had secrets to impart
That Love had taught them both by heart.
