'My Father' in the Bible

Saying, to a tree, My father, art thou! And to a stone, Thou, didst give us birth, For they have turned unto me the back and not the face, - But in the time of their calamity, they will say, Arise, and save us!

Hast thou not from this time, cried unto me, My father! the friend of my youth, art, thou?

Though, I myself, had said, - How can I put thee among the sons, And give thee a land to be coveted, An inheritance of beauty, of the hosts of nations? Yet I said, My father, shalt thou call me, And away from me, shalt thou not turn.

Accursed, be the man who carried tidings to my father saying, There is born to thee a man-child!
