| 339. ‘Where the Blessed Feet Have Trod’ |
| By Michael Field |
| |
| NOT alone in Palestine those blessed Feet have trod, | |
| For I catch their print, | |
| I have seen their dint | |
| On a plot of chalky ground, | |
| Little villas dotted round; | 5 |
| On a sea-worn waste, | |
| Where a priest, in haste, | |
| Passeth with the Blessèd Sacrament to one dying, frail, | |
| Through the yarrow, past the tamarisk, and the plaited snail: | |
| Bright upon the grass I see | 10 |
| Bleeding Feet of Calvary— | |
| And I worship, and I clasp them round! | |
| On this bit of chalky, English ground, | |
| Jesu, Thou art found: my God I hail, | |
| My Lord, my God! | 15 |
