BODY of Jesus taken down from the cross Carved in ivory by a lover of Christ, It is a child's handful you are here, The breadth of a man's finger, And this ivory loin cloth Speaks an interspersal in the day's work, The carver's prayer and whim And Christ-love. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE SOUND OF THE TREES by ROBERT FROST A TERRE (BEING THE PHILOSOPHY OF MANY SOLDIERS) by WILFRED OWEN VALENTINES TO MY MOTHER: 1885 by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI TO HIS LYRE by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS A FRAGMENT FROM THE AGAMEMNON OF AESCHYLOS by AESCHYLUS CURE FOR AFFLICTIONS by ARCHILOCHUS SECTION GANG: NIGHT by NORMAN BOLKER |
