GOOD FRIDAY, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: You drove the nails in his white
Last Line: That the saviour was crucified.
Subject(s): Good Friday; Holidays; Holy Week


You drove the nails in his white, white feet;
I pierced each tender hand:
And we laughed as we lifted the cross on high—
Too wise to understand.

You gave him the gall and vinegar;
I thrust the lance in his side;
Yet they say it was years and years ago
That the Saviour was crucified.
