CHORUS OF WOMEN, FR. FAUST, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: With myrrh and spicery
Last Line: Christ no longer here.


CHORUS OF WOMEN.
With myrrh and spicery
We have embalmed Him, -- we,
The faithful, laid Him out.
We swathed him round about,
His cerements did wind
Cleanly upon His bier.
Alas! and now we find
Christ no longer here.
