HYMN FOR THE SIXTEENTH SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY, by HENRY HART MILMAN Poet's Biography First Line: When our heads are bow'd with woe Last Line: Gracious son of mary, hear! | |||
WHEN our heads are bow'd with woe, When our bitter tears o'erflow, When we mourn the lost, the dear: Gracious Son of Mary, hear! Thou our throbbing flesh hast worn, Thou our mortal griefs hast borne, Thou hast shed the human tear: Gracious Son of Mary, hear! When the sullen death-bell tolls For our own departed souls -- When our final doom is near, Gracious Son of Mary, hear! Thou hast bow'd the dying head, Thou the blood of life hast shed, Thou hast fill'd a mortal bier: Gracious Son of Mary, hear! When the heart is sad within With the thought of all its sin, When the spirit shrinks with fear, Gracious Son of Mary, hear! Thou the shame, the grief hast known; Though the sins were not Thine own, Thou hast deign'd their load to bear: Gracious Son of Mary, hear! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BENINA TO BELSHAZZAR by HENRY HART MILMAN CHRIST CRUCIFIED by HENRY HART MILMAN EVENING SONG OF MAIDENS by HENRY HART MILMAN FUNERAL ANTHEM by HENRY HART MILMAN HYMN BY THE EUPHRATES by HENRY HART MILMAN LAMENTATION OVER JERUSALEM by HENRY HART MILMAN THE CRUCIFIXION by HENRY HART MILMAN THE MERRY HEART by HENRY HART MILMAN |
