The Complete Poems of Christina Rossetti | ||
“They toil not, neither do they spin.”
Clother of the lily, Feeder of the sparrow,Father of the fatherless, dear Lord,
Tho' Thou set me as a mark against Thine arrow,
As a prey unto Thy sword,
As a ploughed up field beneath Thy harrow,
As a captive in Thy cord,
Let that cord be love; and some day make my narrow
Hallowed bed according to Thy Word.
Amen.
