O young babes in Bethlehem
Lying lifeless in their innocence
Slain in vain they lie
Slain for a goal not achieved
Weep, Rachel, weep
Refuse to be comforted
Weep, Rachel weep
Your children are no more
Think on this and cry for mercy
Let your heart awake and mourn
Even beasts nurse their young
Not so, with our daughters
People, lift your hands to Him
For the lives of your children
Slain in vain they lie
At the head of this street
Weep, Rachel, weep
Refuse to be comforted
Weep, Rachel weep
Your children are no more
This I call to mind even now
Remember the steadfast love of my Lord
His mercies new again and again
Therefore I have hope
c. 1510 - 1512 sketch by Leonardo do Vinci

Think. Consider.
