THE THREE MARIES.

THE Virgin, the Disciple, the Redeemed—
The Mother, Friend, and lowly Magdalen!
In Jesu's eyes alike, through love, they seemed:
Are they, then, equal? Yea, I say, Amen!
Virgin'd was she all womankind above,
Whose virgin bosom bore divinity;
So, haply, she who sinned, yet “much did love,”
Through love divine re-bears virginity.
