Good Friday
“Am I a stone, and not a sheep, That I can stand, O Christ, beneath Thy cross, To number drop by drop Thy blood’s slow loss, And yet not weep?
Not so those women loved Who with exceeding grief lamented Thee;
Not so fallen Peter, weeping bitterly; Not so the thief was moved;Not so the Sun and Moon Which hid their faces in a starless sky,
A horror of great darkness at broad noon – I, only I.Yet give not o’er, But seek Thy sheep, true Shepherd of the flock; Greater than Moses, turn and look once more And smite a rock.”
–Christina Rossetti, “Good Friday”
