To Her Three Days' Child Poem by John Bannister Tabb

To Her Three Days' Child



I only
, its mother, have known
The life that is taken away.
As the grape and the vine have we grown
Hour by hour, day by day,
Flesh of flesh, blood of blood, bone of bone.


As it was, evermore must it be,
O Babe from thy mother removed;
As light unto shadow are we,
Each in other approved,
Two in one, and in
God
, one in three.
