Christina Georgina Rossetti - Good FridayChristina Georgina Rossetti - Good Friday
Work rating: Low


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.
