Christ, wandering with the Twelve
Language: English
Christ, wandering with the Twelve One day in the fields Under the hill of Barra by the sea, Said to them : ' Why take ye thought for raiment ? Consider the wind-flowers How they grow, Swaying, swaying in the grass : They toil not, neither do they spin, Nor weave fine clothes to cover them. Yet I say unto you, That Oilioll in all his glory Was not arrayed like one of these.'
