To ----

Topics: classic

Between two common days this day was hung         When Love went to the ending that was his;         His seamless robe was rent, his brow was wrung,         He took at last the sponge's bitter kiss.         A simple day the dawn had watched unfold         Before the night had borne the death of love;         You took the bread I blessed, and love was sold         Upon your lips, and paid the price thereof.         I changed then, as when soul from body slips,         And casts its passion and its pain aside;         I pledged you with most spiritual lips,         And gave you hands that you had crucified.         You who betrayed, kissed, crucified, forgot,         You walked with Christ, poor fool, and knew it not!
