Oh to have watched thee thro' the vineyards wander,
Pluck the ripe ears, and into evening roam!—
Followed, and known that in the twilight yonder
Legions of angels shone about thy home!
Thunder the message that to me thou gavest;
Writ with the lightning in the skies it ran;
Shepherd of souls! it is not thus thou savest;
Nay, but with sorrows of the Son of Man.
Ah with what bitter triumph had I seen them,
Drops of redemption bleeding from thy brow!
Thieves, and a culprit crucified between them,
All men forsaking him,—and that was thou!
