THE MOTHER OF ISCARIOT.
"The mother of Iscariot Was nover done Tedling the women at the well. Or in the market place, Or on tho windy roofs At set ofTSuii, How of the twelve Ha choc» To follow Hirru Her son was one! "They wearied of the telling Yet she erred In suoh a mothering Bweet way. Thai through tho years Half pitying, half envying, They heard, and hearing, smiled, Or shook their heads, - p Or sighed,« But said no word. "Three years with Him—three yeaars— And then—the Dread— The thunderous <lark, Earthquake and blrnding light. Sircars —torches flaring red— The frenzied mob — The thieves— And One who hung between, With thorn-bound head. "Iscariot'e mother—afterward-— Timid and gtoy Stealing by twilight to the well Or through the market place, Knowing- they knew— Hoard whisperings, Saw faces turned away, Knew that they knew And Warned them, not — There was no more to say." —Harry Leo.
"New York Independent.
