The Women Who Ministered Unto Him

They give Him freely all they can,
  They give Him clothes and food;
In this rejoicing, that the Man
  Is not ashamed they should.
Enough He labours for his hire;
  Yea, nought can pay his pain;
The sole return He doth require
  Is strength to toil again.
And this, embalmed in truth, they bring,
  By love received as such;
Their little, by his welcoming,
  Transformed into much.
