<h3> The Madonna<br/> </h3>
<p class="poem">
She shivered and crouched in the immigrant shed<br/>
<SPAN STYLE="margin-left: 1em">In the midst of the surging crowd;</SPAN><br/>
Her hands were warped with the years of toil,<br/>
<SPAN STYLE="margin-left: 1em">And her young form bent and bowed.</SPAN><br/></p>
<p class="poem">
Her eyes looked forth with a frightened glance<br/>
<SPAN STYLE="margin-left: 1em">At the throng that round her pressed;</SPAN><br/>
But her face was the face of the Mother of God<br/>
<SPAN STYLE="margin-left: 1em">As she looked at the babe on her breast.</SPAN><br/></p>
