The Complete Poems of Christina Rossetti | ||
THE DESCENT FROM THE CROSS.
Is this the Face that thrills with aweSeraphs who veil their face above?
154
The Face that is the Face of Love?
Yea, this defaced, a lifeless clod,
Hath all creation's love sufficed,
Hath satisfied the love of God,
This Face the Face of Jesus Christ.
