|
<p>All hail, ye little martyr flowers,<br>
|
|
Sweet rosebuds cut in dawning hours!<br>
|
|
When Herod sought the Christ to find<br>
|
|
Ye fell as bloom before the wind.</p>
|
|
<p>First victims of the martyr bands,<br>
|
|
With crowns and palms in tender hands,<br>
|
|
Around the very altar, gay<br>
|
|
And innocent, ye seem to play.</p>
|
|
<p>What profited this great offense?<br>
|
|
What use was Herod’s violence?<br>
|
|
A Babe survives that dreadful day,<br>
|
|
And Christ is safely borne away.</p>
|
|
<p>All honor, laud, and glory be,<br>
|
|
O Jesus, virgin born, to Thee;<br>
|
|
All glory, as is ever meet<br>
|
|
To Father and to Paraclete.</p>
