AT BETHLEHEM: 3. TO HIS MOTHER by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: HE BROUGHT A LILY WHITE
Last Line: BECAME AS WHITE AS SNOW.
Subject(s): MOTHERS;
HE brought a Lily white,
That bowed its fragrant head
And blushed a rosy red
Before her fairer light.

He brought a Rose; and, lo,
The crimson blossom saw
Her beauty, and in awe
Became as white as snow.
