The Corn That Makes The Holy Bread

Oh Some Are Fond Of Spanish Wine, And Some Are Fond Of French.

Heaven To Me's A Fair Blue Stretch Of Sky, Earth's Jest A Dusty Road.

Men In A Ship Are Always Looking Up, And Men Ashore Are Usually Looking Down.

In The Dark Room Where I Began My Mother's Life Made Me A Man. Through All The Months Of Human Birth Her Beauty Fed My Common Earth. I Cannot See, Nor Breathe, Nor Stir, But Through The Death Of Some Of Her.

And He Who Gives A Child A Treat Makes Joy-bells Ring In Heaven's Street, And He Who Gives A Child A Home Builds Palaces In Kingdom Come, And She Who Gives A Baby Birth Brings Saviour Christ Again To Earth.
