- A Little Metal Crucifix
As plain as it can be.
And only God in Heaven knows
How dear it is to me. I have it always with me
In every step I take,
At evening when I slumber
And at Morning when I wake. In bright or cloudy weather,
In sunshine or in rain,
In happiness or in sorrow,
In pleasure or in pain.In days of pain and anguish
The greatest thing I knew
Was to look at that dear Crucifix
Until I calmer grew. And looking on that figure
Which hung in patience there,
I saw the dreadful torture
Which he in Love did bear.(continues on next page)- Collector
