'My Madonna', by Robert Service, is one of the first poems I ever memorized, and remains a cherished, lesser-known favourite from the author of The Cremation of Sam McGee. Please enjoy by clicking the ALT!

#WorldPoetryDay
BY ROBERT W. SERVICE I haled me a woman from the street, Shameless, but, oh, so fair! I bade her sit in the model’s seat And I painted her sitting there. I hid all trace of her heart unclean; I painted a babe at her breast; I painted her as she might have been If the Worst had been the Best. She laughed at my picture and went away. Then came, with a knowing nod, A connoisseur, and I heard him say; “’Tis Mary, the Mother of God.” So I painted a halo round her hair, And I sold her and took my fee, And she hangs in the church of Saint Hillaire, Where you and all may see.

I wonder if a smaller image would allow for more lines to be seen at once... Will test with next post.
