how can it be that thou
being a jew askest to drink of me
which am a woman of samaria | img2poems |
sir thou hast naught to draw with and the well
is deep
whence hast thou living water | img2poems |
say art thou greater than our father jacob
which gave this well to us and drank thereof
himself and all his children and his cattle | img2poems |
some say
that thou art john the baptist some elias
and others jeremiah | img2poems |
for wherein shall a man be profited
if he shall gain the whole world and shall lose
himself or be a castaway | img2poems |
lo
this is my beloved son
hear him | img2poems |
it is the voice of god
he speaketh to us
as from the burning bush he spake to moses | img2poems |
again he speaks of it
what can it mean
this rising from the dead | img2poems |
he is mine only child a lunatic
and sorely vexed for oftentimes he falleth
into the fire and oft into the water | img2poems |
dumb and deaf spirit
come out of him i charge thee and no more
enter thou into him | img2poems |
how motionless
he lieth there
no life is left in him | img2poems |
behold
the master stoops
and takes him by the hand and lifts him up | img2poems |
from my youth up
all these things have i kept
what lack i yet | img2poems |
with what divine compassion in his eyes
the master looks upon this eager youth
as if he loved him | img2poems |
children
how hard it is for them that trust
in riches to enter into the kingdom of god | img2poems |
't is easier for a camel to go through
a needle's eye than for the rich to enter
the kingdom of god | img2poems |
only to be with thee only to see thee
sufficeth me
my heart is then at rest | img2poems |
martha martha
careful and troubled about many things
art thou and yet one thing alone is needful | img2poems |
it is not he but like him for that beggar
was blind from birth
it cannot be the same | img2poems |
a man that is called jesus made a clay
and put it on mine eyes and said to me
go to siloam's pool and wash thyself | img2poems |
what is this crowd
gathered about a beggar
what has happened | img2poems |
the sabbath day
this man is not of god
because he keepeth not the sabbath day | img2poems |
whether he be a sinner i know not
one thing i know that whereas i was blind
i now do see | img2poems |
inventions
of abriman the spirit of the dark
the evil spirit | img2poems |
i regret the gossip
of friends and neighbors at the open door
on summer nights | img2poems |
but the dishonor helen
let the ships
of tarshish howl for that | img2poems |
wake helen from thy sleep
the air grows cold
let us go down | img2poems |
he flits before us tarries not is gone
when we approach like something unsubstantial
made of the air and fading into air | img2poems |
he is at nazareth he is at nain
or at the lovely village on the lake
or sailing on its waters | img2poems |
and his disciples said beseeching him
send her away
she crieth after us | img2poems |
perhaps thou wilt for i have brought thee here
to keep the holy passover and lay
thine offering of thanksgiving on the altar | img2poems |
a great multitude of people
fills all the street and riding on an ass
comes one of noble aspect like a king | img2poems |
what sweetness what compassion
i no longer
wonder that he hath healed me | img2poems |
but i have seen him and have heard his voice
and i am satisfied
i ask no more | img2poems |
it is that loud and turbulent galilean
that came here at the feast of dedication
and stirred the people up to break the law | img2poems |
o rabban simeon
how must thy bones
stir in their grave to hear such blasphemies | img2poems |
o master
though all men shall be offended
because of thee yet will not i be | img2poems |
simon
behold how satan hath desired to have you
that he may sift you as one sifteth wheat | img2poems |
wherefore can i not follow thee
i am ready
to go with thee to prison and to death | img2poems |
my spirit is exceeding sorrowful
even unto death
tarry ye here and watch | img2poems |
under this ancient olive-tree that spreads
its broad centennial branches like a tent
let us lie down and rest | img2poems |
it is for sorrow that our eyes are heavy
i see again the glimmer of those torches
among the olives they are coming hither | img2poems |
beloved master
alas
we know not what to answer thee | img2poems |
it is enough
behold the son of man
hath been betrayed into the hands of sinners | img2poems |
the hour is come
rise up let us be going
for he that shall betray me is at hand | img2poems |
ah me
see from his forehead in the torchlight
great drops of blood are falling to the ground | img2poems |
what lights are these
what torches glare and glisten
upon the swords and armor of these men | img2poems |
what do we
clearly something must we do
for this man worketh many miracles | img2poems |
i am informed that he is a mechanic
a carpenter's son a galilean peasant
keeping disreputable company | img2poems |
the people say that here in bethany
he hath raised up a certain lazarus
who had been dead three days | img2poems |
now surely thou art also one of them
thou art a galilean and thy speech
betrayeth thee | img2poems |
who art thou
tell us plainly of thyself
and of thy doctrines and of thy disciples | img2poems |
if i have spoken evil
bear witness of the evil but if well
why smitest thou me | img2poems |
hereafter shall ye see the son of man
sit on the right hand of the power of god
and come in clouds of heaven | img2poems |
how couldst thou see me
i swear unto thee
i do not know this man of whom ye speak | img2poems |
ye have a god who seemeth like yourselves
incomprehensible dwelling apart
majestic cloud-encompassed clothed in darkness | img2poems |
i was once to say it in brief
a highwayman a robber-chief
in the open light of day | img2poems |
so much i am free to confess
but all men more or less
are robbers in their way | img2poems |
what think ye would he care
for a jew slain here or there
or a plundered caravan | img2poems |
therefore was herod wroth
with matthias margaloth
and burned him for a show | img2poems |
therefore his wrath did smite
judas the gaulonite
and his followers as ye know | img2poems |
already those women of mine
are mixing the myrrh and the wine
i shall not be with you long | img2poems |
put on thy royal robes put on thy crown
and take thy sceptre
hail thou king of the jews | img2poems |
i bring him forth to you that ye may know
i find no fault in him
behold the man | img2poems |
we have a law
and by our law he ought to die because
he made himself to be the son of god | img2poems |
ah
there are sons of god and demigods
more than ye know ye ignorant high-priests | img2poems |
dost thou not answer me
dost thou not know
that i have power enough to crucify thee | img2poems |
here take ye this inscription priests and nail it
upon the cross above your victim's head
jesus of nazareth king of the jews | img2poems |
it stung me into madness
how i loved
yet hated him: but in the other world | img2poems |
i will be there before him and will wait
until he comes and fall down on my knees
and kiss his feet imploring pardon pardon | img2poems |
that shall not be forgiven in this world
nor in the world to come
is that my sin | img2poems |
have i offended so there is no hope
here nor hereafter
that i soon shall know | img2poems |
those hands that healed the sick now pierced with nails
those feet that wandered homeless through the world
now crossed and bleeding and at rest forever | img2poems |
thou that destroyest the temple and dost build it
in three days save thyself and if thou be
the son of god come down now from the cross | img2poems |
in god he trusted
let him deliver him if he will have him
and we will then believe | img2poems |
father
forgive them
they know not what they do | img2poems |
golgotha
golgotha
oh the pain and darkness | img2poems |
oh the uplifted cross that shall forever
shine through the darkness and shall conquer pain
by the triumphant memory of this hour | img2poems |
but go your way and say to his disciples
he goeth before you into galilee
there shall ye see him as he said to you | img2poems |
we have come back again
to the old life the peaceful life among
the white towns of the galilean lake | img2poems |
't is like an apparition
he hath kindled
a fire of coals and seems to wait for us | img2poems |
how that reminds me of the days gone by
and one who said: launch out into the deep
and cast your nets | img2poems |
lo
we again have found thee
leave us not | img2poems |
how more than we do
he remaineth ever
self-confident and boastful as before | img2poems |
will follow thee through fasting and temptation
through all thine agony and bloody sweat
thy cross and passion even unto death | img2poems |
bartholomew
he ascended into heaven and sitteth on the right hand of god
the father almighty | img2poems |
the fear of god is in his book
the pages of the pentateuch
are full of the terror of his name | img2poems |
then reigned the son his covenant
was peace on earth good-will to man
with him the reign of law began | img2poems |
already the whole land is white
with convent walls as if by night
a snow had fallen on hill and height | img2poems |
founder of convents in the west
who built on mount cassino's crest
in the land of labor thine eagle's nest | img2poems |
from its station drag the ponderous
cross of iron that to mock us
is uplifted high in air | img2poems |
seize the loud vociferous bells and
clashing clanging to the pavement
hurl them from their windy tower | img2poems |
aim your lightnings
at the oaken
massive iron-studded portals | img2poems |
a chamber in a tower
prince henry sitting alone ill and
restless | img2poems |
that like o'erflowing streamlets started
and now are dwindled one by one
to stony channels in the sun | img2poems |
rest
rest
oh give me rest and peace | img2poems |
the thought of life that ne'er shall cease
has something in it like despair
a weight i am too weak to bear | img2poems |
and it is not a matter of special wonder
that when god is walking overhead
you should not hear my feeble tread | img2poems |
my being here is accidental
the storm that against your casement drives
in the little village below waylaid me | img2poems |
and there i heard with a secret delight
of your maladies physical and mental
which neither astonished nor dismayed me | img2poems |
