MY MASTER.
“Into tho woods, my Master went, Clean forspent, forspent; Into the woods my Master came, Forspent with love and shame. But the olives they were not blind to Him, The little grey leaves were kind to Him, The thorn-tree had a mind to Him, 'When into .the woods He came. - Out of the woods my Master came, And he was well content; 'Onr of the woods my Master came, Content with death and shame. When Death and Shame would woo Him last; • . : From under the trees. They drew Him last; \ ' • i ’ ’Twas on a tree they slew When out of the woods he came.” • These lines are by Sydney Lanier, and were first published -in the “Independent’ ’ December 23, 1880.
