A Poet lived in Galilee, Whose mother dearly knew him, And his beauty like a cooling tree Drew many people to him. He had sweet-hearted things to say, And he was angry only When people were unkind. That day He'd stand there straight and lonely, And tell them what they ought to do: "Love other folks," he pleaded, "As you love me and I love you;" Yet almost no one heeded. A Poet lived in Galilee.
