He staggered thro' the burning street
Language:
English
He staggered thro' the burning street,
And tho' his cross o'er-weighted him,
He raised his comely head to greet
The women of Jerusalem.
'O women of Jerusalem,
Weep not for me who go to death
With unbowed head and easy breath,
But for your children. Lo, at hand
There comes a season to the land
When ye shall curse the womb that bears,
The pap that sucks, the hand that rears,
And Jew-folk born of Jacob's stem
Shall call the hills to fall on them !'
And when he came to Calvary,
By many a strait and stifling street,
They seized him by the hands and feet
And nailed him to the gallows tree,
And housed him on the rocky stairs
Between two common murderers ;
And ere the day in dark was lost
The sinless Christ gave up the ghost.
Then flew the gilly on the wind.
Input by Ferdinando Albeggiani
