THE PARABLES OF THE SAVIOUR.
I.
OF THE SOWER.
Behold a sower going forth
To scatter o'er his field,
The seed that in the harvest time
A rich return will yield.
And as he sow'd some precious seeds,
Were by the way-side thrown;
The fowls of heaven descried them there,
And soon the seed were gone.
And other seeds fell from his hand
On stony places round,
And forthwith they sprung up, because
They had no depth of ground.
But when the sun came up, and warm
Sent forth his beaming ray,
Because they had no root in earth,
They wither'd all away.
Among the thorns some others fell,
Of these there was no hope;
The seeds were choked, they droop'd and died,
Soon as the thorns came up.
But others fell into good ground,
And yielded, as we're told,
Some of them thirty, sixty some,
And some an hundred fold.
