BETHLEHEM by HARRY WEBB FARRINGTON

First Line: I SHALL NOT TARRY OVER SCROLLS
Last Line: A SAVIOR FOR MY HUNGRY HEART.
Subject(s): BETHLEHEM, PALESTINE;

I shall not tarry over scrolls
That chart the planets of the night;
Nor follow paths of endless goals,
The ordered orbs of Heaven's light;
Nor shall I halt with sense and mind
At palace, porch or merchant's mart:
My caravan shall press to find
A Savior for my hungry heart.
