First Line: WHEN CHRIST WAS TAKEN FROM THE ROOD Last Line: WHERE, LO, IT REDDENED ALL HIS BREAST! Subject(s): JESUS CHRIST - LEGENDS; ROBINS;
When Christ was taken from the rood, One thorn upon the ground, Still moistened with the Precious Blood, An early robin found, And wove it crosswise in his nest, Where, lo, it reddened all his breast!
