Christ, wandering with the Twelve

F. Hart

Christ, wandering with the Twelve

One day in the fields

Under the hill of Barra by the sea,

Said to them:

' Why take ye thought for raiment?

Consider the wind-flowers

How they grow,

Swaying, swaying in the grass:

They toil not, neither do they spin,

Nor weave fine clothes to cover them.

Yet I say unto you,

That Oilioll in all his glory

Was not arrayed like one of these.'
