THE WOMEN WHO MINISTERED UNTO HIM.


They give Him freely all they can,

  They give Him clothes and food; In this rejoicing, that the Man

  Is not ashamed they should.

Enough He labours for his hire;

  Yea, nought can pay his pain; The sole return He doth require

  Is strength to toil again.

And this, embalmed in truth, they bring,

  By love received as such; Their little, by his welcoming,

  Transformed into much.
