MATER DOLOROSA by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: AGAIN MATERNAL AUTUMN GRIEVES
Last Line: WHO DIED UPON A TREE.
Subject(s): AUTUMN; CRUCIFIXION; SEASONS; FALL; JESUS CHRIST - CRUCIFIXION;
Again maternal Autumn grieves,
As blood-like drip the maple leaves
On Nature's Calvary,
And every sap-forsaken limb
Renews the mystery of Him
Who died upon a Tree.
