Roses and thorns
Language:
English
The young child Jesus had a garden,
Full of roses, rare and red:
And thrice a day he watered them,
To make a garland for his head.
When they were full-blown in the garden,
He called the Jewish children there,
And each did pluck himself a rose,
Until they stripped the garden bare.
"And now how will you make your garland?
For not a rose your path adorns."
"But you forget," he answered them,
"That you have left me still the thorns."
They took the thorns, and made a garland,
And placed it on his shining head;
And where the roses should have shone
Were little drops of blood instead!

Legenda
Language:
Russian
Byl u Khrista-mladenca sad,
i mnogo roz vzrastil on v njom.
On trizhdy v den' ikh polival,
chtob splest' venok sebe potom.
Kogda zhe rozy rascveli,
detej jevrejskikh sozval on;
oni sorvali po cvetku,
i sad byl ves' opustoshjon.
,,Kak ty spletesh' teper' venok?
V tvojom sadu net bol'she roz!``
,,Vy pozabyli, chto shipy
ostalis' mne``, - skazal Khristos.
I iz shipov oni spleli venok
koljuchij dlja nego,
i kapli krovi vmesto roz
chelo ukrasili jego.
