Classic Poem

“T HIS Lamb of Jerusalem had no speck.
of other hue save winsome white,
that ne'er a stain or spot might touch,
so white the wool, so rich and rare;
wherefore each soul that hath no taint
is to that Lamb a wife ador'd;
and though each day a many He bring,
nor strife nor stress among us comes;
but each one singly we would were five,—
the more the merrier, so bless me God!
Our love can thrive in company great;
our honour more and never less.
