Some thoughts for Tuesday week 4 of Lent

I saw a stranger today.

I put food for him in the eating-place,

And drink in the drinking-place,

And music in the listening-place.

In the Holy Name of the Trinity

He blessed myself and my house,

My goods and my family.

And the lark said in her warble,

Often, often, often

Goes Christ in the stranger's guise

0, oft and oft and oft,

Goes Christ in the stranger's guise. 

Irish tune

NOWHERE does the Torah say, Invite your guest to pray; but it does tell us to offer a guest food, drink and a bed.

running from marbles and

spring

when the world is puddle-wonderful

the queer

old balloonman whistles

far    and    wee

and bettyandisbel come dancing

from hop-scotch and jump-rope and

it's

spring

and

    the

goat-footed

balloonMan    whistles

far
