" Stronger and fairer my first-born grew And in our bield he stayed, For now he toil'd at the bench and knew My good man's gentle trade ; " And his voice chimed cheerily all day long To the chime of the busy plane. And as I sat and heark'd to his song My heart was glad again ! " For methought * My shame hath passed away. My son grows strong and tall, — The God of Israel be his stay Wherever his feet may fall ! THE BALLAD OF MARY THE MOTHER 39 " The God of Israel grant him life And be his light ...and guide, — And when he taketh a maid to wife May their seed be multipHed ! " ' May their days be long in a fruitful land Under the summer skies, And ere I sleep may he hold my hand And close my happy eyes. ' " O the light o' the Lord shone bright indeed Upon our dwelling place ! For methought my seed was a goodly seed To quicken and grow apace ! " And I saw my Son's seed multiply And gladden from day to day, And I heard my children's children cry Like voices far away ! " The life of man is a tale thrice told.
