MONDAY IN HOLY WEEK by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

First Line: ONCE I ACHED FOR THY DEAR SAKE
Last Line: AND WILT THOU HAVE NOUGHT OF ME?
Subject(s): HOLY WEEK;
ONCE I ached for thy dear sake:
Wilt thou cause Me now to ache?
Once I bled for thee in pain:
Wilt thou rend My Heart again?
Crown of thorns and shameful tree,
Bitter death I bore for thee,
Bore My Cross to carry thee,
And wilt thou have nought of Me?
