w: When Je- sus Christ was yet a child, He had a gar- den small and wild, Where- in He cher- ished ro- ses fair, And wove them in- to gar- lands there. Now once, as sum- mer time drew nigh,_ There came a troop of child- ren by, And see- ing ro- ses on the tree, With shouts they pluck'd them mer- ri ly. “Do you bind ro- ses in_ your hair?”_ They cried, in scorn, to Je- sus there. The Boy said hum- bly: “Take, I pray, All but the na- ked thorns a- way.” Then of the thorns they made a crown, And with rough fin- gers press'd it down, Till on his fore- head fair and young, Red drops of blood,_ like ro- ses sprung._
