Alternate Author Name(s): Gregory Of Narek; Gregory The Master; Gregory, Narekatzi
Subject(s): Jesus Christ


The lips of the Christ-child are like to twin leaves;
They let roses fall when He smiles tenderly.
The tears of the Christ-child are pearls when He grieves;
The eyes of the Christ-child are deep as the sea.
Like pomegranate grains are the dimples He hath,
And clustering lilies spring up in His path.
