THE VISITATION
"Your cousin is pregnant," the angel had said
So off to Ain Karim the Virgin went
In caravan by unseen angels led
At night her bed was covered by a tent
When Elizabeth saw Mary, the child in her leapt
"Blessed art thou among women", she exclaimed
Mary embraced her - the two women wept
"The good Lord is mighty, holy His Name!"
For three months together, laughing and weeping
Praising the Lord in His mercy and bounty
Sewing and cooking or dusting and sweeping
Sharing their joys in Ain Karim county
Assisted by Mary, the small Baptist came
On a slate Zachary wrote that John was his name
