A Ballad of the Cross.

Mechior, Gaspar. Belthazar--
Great gifts they bore and meet;
White linen for His body fair
And purple for His feet;
And golden things the JOY Of kings
And myrrh 70 breathe Him sweet
It was the shepherd Terish spake,
ooh poor the gift bring
A little cross of broken twigs,
a kinds gift 10 g king
Yet haply He may smile TO see
And know my offering"
And 1t was Mary held Her Son
Full softly 20 her breast,
Great gifts and sweet are at Thy feet
And wonders king-possossed,
Oh, little Son. take Thou the one
That pleasures Thee the best
It was the Christ-ehild In Her arms
Who turned from gaud and gold,
Who turned from wondrous gifts and great,
From purple wool and fold
And TO His breast the cross He pressed
That scarce His hands could hold.
Twas king and shepherd went their way
Great wonder tore their bliss
Twas Mary casped Her little Son
Close close 10 feel Her kiss.
And in His hold the cross lay cold
Between Her heart and his.
