THE PASSION FLOWER, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Thou lowly, meek and lovely flower
Last Line: Even as the flower of calvary!
Subject(s): Jesus Christ - Suffering & Sacrifice


Thou lowly, meek and lovely flower,
But yesterday, at evening's hour,
As trudged I upward with my load,
I saw thee blooming by the road,
And stayed my steps to wonder there
That beauty so supremely fair
Should waste its loveliness on me—
Even as the Flower of Calvary!
