Elizabeth Barrett Browning - The Two Sayings
Work rating: Low

Two savings of the Holy Scriptures beat
Like pulses in the Church`s brow and breast;
And by them we find rest in our unrest
And, heart deep in salt-tears, do yet entreat
God`s fellowship as if on heavenly seat.
The first is JESUS WEPT,—whereon is prest
Full many a sobbing face that drops its best
And sweetest waters on the record sweet:
And one is where the Christ, denied and scorned
LOOKED UPON PETER. Oh, to render plain
By help of having loved a little and mourned,
That look of sovran love and sovran pain
Which HE, who could not sin yet suffered, turned
On him who could reject but not sustain !
