Henry Head, Within My Arms My Lord Became a Little Child… (1919)
“ Straight grow the sombre winding ways, and at my feetMy narrow path with starry flowers like heaven is spread. And I who am so little worth, so poor and weak,Alone about the source of life my watch can keep,Hold in my arms the labouring world subdued to sleep,As in the hollow of my hand I hold his cheek.
