A FAIR WORLD THOUGH A FALLEN', by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: You tell me that the world is fair, in spite
Last Line: Thy cross cruciferous
Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina
Subject(s): Death; Longing; Comfort


Thy Cross cruciferous doth flower in all
And every cross, dear Lord, assigned to us:
Ours lowly-statured crosses; Thine how tall,
Thy Cross cruciferous.

Thy Cross alone life-giving, glorious:
For love of Thine, souls love their own when small,
Easy and light, or great and ponderous.

Since deep calls deep, Lord, hearken when we call;
When cross calls Cross racking and emulous:''"
Remember us with him who shared Thy gall,
Thy Cross cruciferous.
