ALLELUIA!, by ANTHONY F. KLINKNER First Line: The christ who works in offices Last Line: To hear the easter hymn! | |||
The Christ who works in offices Is weary of his load, Sum Total is his torture And Hurry is his goad. From Pilate's hall to Caiaphas They drive him to and fro, And only He Who is a Sign His agony will know. They crown his brow with wrinkles deep To profit find or loss, With price and cost they load him down, The Ledger is his cross. Each day he goes to Golgotha To meekly do their will, They look at him with eyes of scorn On crucifixion hill. The Christ who works in offices For masters stern and grim, Looks from his window prison bars To hear the Easter hymn! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FELICIA HEMANS by LETITIA ELIZABETH LANDON SONNET: DANTE (1) by MICHELANGELO BUONARROTI TACT by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON ON THE MOOR by ROBERT ADAMSON (1832-) A REMEMBERED FACE by EDMUND JOHN ARMSTRONG |
