The High Things
The Greatest Day that ever dawned,-- It was a Winter's Morn. The Finest Temple ever built Was a Shed where a Babe was born. The Sweetest Robes by woman wrought Were the Swaths by the Baby worn. And the Fairest Hair the world has seen, --Those Locks that were never shorn. The Noblest Crown man ever wore,-- It was the Plaited Thorn. The Grandest Death man ever died,-- It was the Death of Scorn. The Sorest Grief by woman known Was the Mother-Maid's forlorn. The Deepest Sorrows e'er endured Were by The Outcast borne. The Truest Heart the world e'er broke Was the Heart by man's sins torn.
