AD ASTRA: 106 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: AND WOULD YOU TEAR IT FROM THEIR ACHING SIGHT
Last Line: AND COMETH NONE WITH ANY HOPE OF CHEER?
Subject(s): CALVARY;
And would you tear it from their aching sight,
And tell them all is dark beyond the veil?
That human misery is but a blight
That falls haphazard where the roses trail?
That fortitude and faith alike must fail,
For Calvary fades, old landmarks disappear,
And cometh none with any hope of cheer?
