Alternate Author Name(s): Cayzer, Charles
Subject(s): Calvary
And would you tear it from their aching sight,
And tell them all is dark beyond the veil?
That human misery is but a blight
That falls haphazard where the roses trail?
That fortitude and faith alike must fail,
For Calvary fades, old landmarks disappear,
And cometh none with any hope of cheer?
