Classic Poem

“Of Jerusalem is now my speech:
If thou wouldst know what kind is He,
my Lamb, my Lord, my dearest Jewel,
my Joy, my Bliss, my noble Love,—
the prophet Tsaiah spake of Him,
in pity of His gentleness,—
‘the Glorious Guiltless whom they killed
with ne'er a cause of evil deed.
As a sheep to the slaughter He was led;
as lamb the shearer taketh a-field,
He closed His mouth 'gainst questioning,
When Jews Him judg'd in Jerusalem.’
