I WILL COME AND HEAL HIM, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: O lord god, hear the silence of each soul
Last Line: No man hath greater love than thus to die.
Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina


O LORD God, hear the silence of each soul,
Its cry unutterable of ruth and shame,
Its voicelessness of self-contempt and blame:
Nor suffer harp and palm and aureole
Of multitudes who praise Thee at the goal
To set aside Thy poor and blind and lame;
Nor blazing Seraphs utterly to outflame
The spark that flies up from each earthly coal.
My price Thy priceless Blood; and therefore I
Price of Thy priceless Blood am precious so
That good things love me in their love of Thee:
I comprehend not why Thou lovedst me
With Thy so mighty Love; but this I know,
No man hath greater love than thus to die.
