Explore "Our Lord and our Lady" by Hilaire Belloc on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
They warned Our Lady for the Child / That was Our blessed Lord, / And She took Him into the desert wild, / Over the camel's ford.
And a long song She sang to Him / And a short story told: / And She wrapped Him in a woollen cloak / To keep Him from the cold.
But when Our Lord was grown a man / The Rich they dragged Him down, / And they crucified Him in Golgotha, / Out and beyond the Town.
They crucified Him on Calvary, / Upon an April day; / And because He had been her little Son / She followed Him all the way.
Our Lady stood beside the Cross, / A little space apart, / And when She heard Our Lord cry out / A sword went through Her Heart.
They laid Our Lord in a marble tomb, / Dead, in a winding sheet.
But Our Lady stands above the world / With the white Moon at Her feet.
