Good Friday

Topics: classic

O Heart of Three-in-the evening,      You nestled the thorn-crowned head;     He leaned on you in His sorrow,      And rested on you when dead.     Ah! Holy Three-in-the evening      He gave you His richest dower;     He met you afar on Calvary,      And made you "His own last hour".     O Brow of Three-in-the evening,      Thou wearest a crimson crown;     Thou art Priest of the hours forever,      And thy voice, as thou goest down     The cycles of time, still murmurs      The story of love each day:     "I held in death the Eternal,      In the long and the far-away."     O Heart of Three-in-the evening,      Mine beats with thine to-day;     Thou tellest the olden story,      I kneel -- and I weep and pray.     ____     Boulogne, sur mer.
