GOOD FRIDAY (2) by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

First Line: LORD JESUS CHRIST, GROWN FAINT UPON THE CROSS
Last Line: HEART, O LORD JESUS CHRIST.
Subject(s): GOOD FRIDAY; HOLIDAYS; HOLY WEEK;
LORD Jesus Christ, grown faint upon the Cross,
A sorrow beyond sorrow in Thy look,
The unutterable craving for my soul;
Thy love of me sufficed
To load upon Thee and make good my loss
In face of darkened heaven and earth that shook: --
In face of earth and heaven, take Thou my whole
Heart, O Lord Jesus Christ.
