INSCRIPTION FOR A CRUCIFIX.{1}

 

("Vous qui pleurez, venez à ce Dieu.")
     {Bk. III. iv., March, 1842.}

Ye weepers, the Mourner o'er mourners behold!
     Ye wounded, come hither—the Healer enfold!
     Ye gloomy ones, brighten 'neath smiles quelling care—
     Or pass—for this Comfort is found ev'rywhere.

     {Footnote 1: Music by Gounod.}
