Thou touchest Christ with stainless finger-tips.

ST. BARBARA.

Dioscorus of Heliopolis

Shut his wise daughter in a lofty tower,

Jealous of lovers; therein, for her bower,

She caused three windows to be made, in this

Her father disobeying, but said: “It is

Through three clear windows that the Almighty Power,

The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, shower

Light on the soul—with light immortal bliss!”
