Verily I say unto you, wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her. -------@3MATTHEW,@1 26.13. -- SEE ALSO @3JOHN,@1 12.3. Thou hast thy record in the monarch's hall; And on the waters of the far mid sea; And where the mighty mountain-shadows fall, The alpine hamlet keeps a thought of thee: Where'er, beneath some Oriental tree, The Christian traveler rests -- where'er the child Looks upward from the English mother's knee, With earnest eyes in wondering reverence mild, There art thou known -- where'er the Book of Light Bears hope and healing, there, beyond all blight, Is borne thy memory, and all praise above: Oh! say what deed so lifted thy sweet name, Mary! to that pure silent place of fame? One lowly offering of exceeding love. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE SEVEN AGAINST THEBES: CHORUS by AESCHYLUS ORPHEUS AND EURYDICE: THE POWER OF MUSIC by SAMUEL LISLE THE PRETTY MILKMAID by MOTHER GOOSE THE TRIUMPH OF LIFE by PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY FOOTLIGHT MOTIFS: 1.
