THE FACE OF JESUS CHRIST by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

First Line: IS THIS THE FACE THAT THRILLS WITH AWE
Last Line: THIS FACE, THE FACE OF JESUS CHRIST.
Subject(s): JESUS CHRIST;

Is this the face that thrills with awe
Seraphs who veil their face above?
Is this the face without a flaw,
The face that is the face of love?
Yea, this defaced, a lifeless clod,
Hath all creation's love sufficed,
Hath satisfied the love of God,
This face, the face of Jesus Christ.
