Inscription for a Crucifix[1]
(“Vous qui pleurez, venez a 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.]
