Answer:
which poem is it? please tell?... can't understand it
Answer:
If God is not physically present, then the figure of speech used in these verses is an apostrophe.
Explanation:
b) The manager here represents the site where Jesus Christ was born. It's a nod to the Nativity tale, in which Mary and Joseph deliver Jesus to a stable since the inn has no space.
c) A lady is mentioned in the third sentence, and that woman is Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ. Christianity holds that Jesus is God's divinely conceived son, and the verse "Thou whom a woman placed in a manger" alludes to his humble beginnings as a human baby. Mary, as the mother of Jesus, is highly regarded in Christianity. She is seen as a role model for mothers everywhere. The speaker prays to an unnamed deity for the safety of the children, evoking the image of Mary and her maternal care. Take me not until the children grow!" indicating the speaker is a guardian or carer of the children, asking with a higher power to let them continue in their duty until the kids are older.
