TUESDAY IN HOLY WEEK by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

First Line: BY THY LONG-DRAWN ANGUISH TO ATONE
Last Line: ALL MANKIND AND ALL I LOVE AND ME.
Subject(s): HOLY WEEK;
BY Thy long-drawn anguish to atone,
jesus Christ, show mercy on Thine own:
Jesus Christ, show mercy and atone
Not for other sake except Thine own.

Thou Who thirsting on the Cross didst see
All mankind and all I love and me,
Still from Heaven look down in love and see
All mankind and all I love and me.
