CAROL, by ANONYMOUS First Line: "pray for us to the prince of peace, / amice christi, johannes!" Last Line: "now pray we to him for his aid - / amice christi, johannes!" | |||
Pray for us to the Prince of Peace, Amice Christi, Johannes! To thee, who wast Christ's own darling Man and maid alike, I bring My homage, and from heart I 'ld sing, Amice Christi, Johannes! For that he was so pure a maid On Christ's Own Breast asleep he laid, God's secrets were to him displayed -- Amice Christi, Johannes! When Christ to Pilate's house was brought This virgin Knight forsook Him naught, To die with Him was all his thought -- Amice Christi, Johannes! Christ's Mother in his care was laid, Fit mate a maiden for a Maid, Now pray we to him for his aid -- Amice Christi, Johannes! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest..."'TIS MIDNIGHT, AND THE SETTING SUN" by ANONYMOUS "'TWAS ROLLOG, AND THE MINIM POTES" by ANONYMOUS 1648 : FOR COSSACKS by ANONYMOUS A CHERRY YEAR / A MERRY YEAR by ANONYMOUS A COMET FROM THE RHYMERS' CLUB AFAR by ANONYMOUS "A FOX, A FOX, UP GALLANTS TO THE FIELDS" by ANONYMOUS A HORSE AND A FLEA AND THREE BLIND MICE by ANONYMOUS "A LAIRD, A LORD / A COOPER, A THIEF" by ANONYMOUS A LITTLE COCK SPARROW SAT ON A GREEN TREE by ANONYMOUS |
