Rh If to my son my alms were given

I know not, and I wait for Heaven.

He did not plead for child of mine,

But for another Child divine,

And unto Him it was surely given.

There is one alone who cannot change;

Dreams are we, shadows, visions strange;

And all I give is given to one.

I might mistake my dearest son,

But never the Son who cannot change.
