GOOD FRIDAY EVENING by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

First Line: NO CHERUB'S HEART OR HAND FOR US MIGHT ACHE
Last Line: MORE AND YET MORE.
Subject(s): GOOD FRIDAY; HOLIDAYS; HOLY WEEK;
NO Cherub's heart or hand for us might ache,
No Seraph's heart of fire had half sufficed:
Thine own were pierced and broken for our sake,
O Jesus Christ.

Therefore we love Thee with our faint good-will,
We crave to love Thee not as heretofore,
To love Thee much, to love Thee more, and still
More and yet more.
