CHRIST THE MENDICANT, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: A stranger, to his own
Last Line: A mother's love.
Alternate Author Name(s): Father Tabb
Subject(s): Mary. Mother Of Jesus; Mothers; Women - Bible; Virgin Mary


A stranger, to His own
He came; and one alone,
Who knew not sin,
His lowliness believed,
And in her soul conceived
To let Him in.

He naked was, and she
Of her humanity
A garment wove.
He hungered; and she gave,
What most His heart did crave,
A Mother's love.
