WHERE THE BLESSED FEET HAVE TROD', by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Not alone in palestine those blessed feet
Last Line: Jesu, thou art found: my god I hail, %my lord, my god!
Alternate Author Name(s): Field, Michael (with Edith Emma Cooper)
Subject(s): Jesus Christ; Palestine


Not alone in Palestine those blessed Feet have trod,
For I catch their print,
I have seen their dint
On a plot of chalky ground,
Little villas dotted round;
On a sea-worn waste,
Where a priest, in haste,
Passeth with the Blessèd Sacrament to one dying, frail,
Through the yarrow, past the tamarisk, and the plaited snail:
Bright upon the grass I see
Bleeding Feet of Calvary-
And I worship, and I clasp them round!
On this bit of chalky, English ground,
Jesu, Thou art found: my God I hail,
My Lord, my God!
