The Annunciation Of The Blessed Virgin

© John Keble

Oh!  Thou who deign'st to sympathise
With all our frail and fleshly ties,
  Maker yet Brother dear,
Forgive the too presumptuous thought,
If, calming wayward grief, I sought
  To gaze on Thee too near.

© Ada Cambridge

Who scarce have time to know what we desire?
O what is love, if we must part so soon?

From her early walk in her garden-wood,
Feeling that life's a table set to bless
Her delicate desires with all that's good.

  [F]or were her lovers lords or kings,
  They should not carry the wench away.

No, Mark, I'm not so easily cross'd;
'Tis true that I've had a run
Of bad luck lately; indeed, I've lost;
Well! somebody else has won.

O ARY SCHEFFER! when beneath thine eye,
Touched with the light that cometh from above,
Grew the sweet picture of the dear Lord's love,
No dream hadst thou that Christian hands would tear
