Holy Thursday |
| 'Twas on a holy Thursday, their innocent faces clean |
| The children walking two and two, in red, and blue, and green: |
| Grey-headed beadles walked before, with wands as white as snow |
| Till into the high dome of Paul’s they like Thames waters flow |
| O what a multitude they seemed, these flowers of London town! |
| Seated in companies they sit, with radiance all their own |
| The hum of multitudes was there, but multitudes of lambs |
| Thousands of little boys and girls raising their innocent hands |
| Now like a mighty wind they raise to heaven the voice of song |
| Or like harmonious thunderings the seats of heaven among: |
| Beneath them sit the aged men, wise guardians of the poor |
| Then cherish pity, lest you drive an angel from your door |
