THE LIFE-GIVER by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: THE EARTH TO US HER BREAD
Last Line: UPON THE GROUND.
Subject(s): RELIGION; THEOLOGY;
The earth to us her bread
Of life doth give;
And we to her, our dead,
That they may live.

In vain the vision blest
Of Heaven were found,
Did faith no ladder rest
Upon the ground.
