Man of Sorrow <br />Man of Pain <br />You took it all <br />Without any gain. <br />You loved us all <br />With gentle eyes <br />Man of Sorrow <br />Man of Pain <br /> <br />39 plus one <br />Lashes great fall on your back <br />A crown of thorns <br />Pressed down around your head <br />The blood runs down <br />and yet you cry <br />'So many lost; <br />So many die.' <br /> <br />Man of Sorrow <br />Man of Pain <br />Leave it now- <br />And cry again <br />Man of sorrow <br />Man of pain <br />Your troubled heart <br />Feels my pain. <br /> <br />Lifted up to die <br />Bitter gall served fresh <br />As wine <br />Yet you'd do it again <br />For one lost sheep <br />That beats in the air. <br /> <br />Man of sorrow <br />Man of pain <br />When is it enough? <br />So much grief <br />You swallow up <br />Yet you bore it <br />And demand me live- <br />Man of sorrow <br />I humbled myself down. <br /> <br />All glory to you <br />Man of sorrow <br />All thrones belong to you <br />Man of pain <br />You gave me life and <br />Even more <br />I have nothing <br />But myself to give - <br />Yet I keep taking it back <br />Man of Sorrow <br />Man of Pain.<br /><br />Charlotte Ballard<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-only-song/
