POTTER'S FIELD by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: TWAS PURCHASED WITH HIS BLOOD, THIS HOLY GROUND
Last Line: IN ALL THE WORLD WHEREON TO LAY HIS HEAD.
Subject(s): CEMETERIES; RELIGION; GRAVEYARDS; THEOLOGY;
'Twas purchased with His blood, this holy ground,
This place of refuge for the homeless dead;
While He, alas! no spot secluded found
In all the world whereon to lay His head.
