The Seamless Dress

REUBEN POGSON

As she, amidst that thronging crowd,Was rudely jostled and delayedBefore she reached the Christ-endowed,And, touching, found her issue stayed;So we amidst the whirling throngOf mortal thoughts that daze the mind,Seem hindered, as we press along,When we the God-idea would find.
Poem
