Easter Day
by Christina Rossetti
Am I a stone, and not a sheep,
That I
can stand, O Christ, beneath thy cross,
To number drop by drop Thy
Blood's slow loss,
And yet not weep?
Not so those women loved
Who with exceeding grief lamented Thee;
Not so fallen Peter
weeping bitterly;
Not so the thief was moved;
Not so the Sun
and Moon
Which hid their faces in a starless sky,
A horror of
great darkness at broad noon--
I, only I.
Yet give not o'er,
But seek Thy sheep, true Shepherd of the flock;
Greater than
Moses, turn and look once more
And smite a rock.
