57455: At A Calvary Near The Ancre

<p dir="ltr"> One ever hangs where shelled roads part.<br> In this war He too lost a limb,<br> But His disciples hide apart;<br> And now the Soldiers bear with Him.<br> Near Golgotha strolls many a priest,<br> And in their faces there is pride<br> That they were flesh-marked by the Beast<br> By whom the gentle Christ's denied.<br> The scribes on all the people shove<br> And bawl allegiance to the state,<br> But they who love the greater love<br> Lay down their life; they do not hate.</p>
