IX.

THE WOMEN WHO MINISTERED UNTO HIM.

Enough he labours for his hire;

Yea, nought can pay his pain;

But
powers that wear and waste and tire, Need help to toil again.

They give him freely all they can,

They give him clothes and food;

In this rejoicing, that the man

Is not ashamed they should.

High love takes form in lowly thing;

He knows the offering such;

To them 'tis little that they bring,

To him 'tis very much.
