Anna Laetitia Barbauld - Behold

2014-11-10 12 Dailymotion

Behold, where breathing love divine, <br />Our dying Master stands! <br />His weeping followers gathering round <br />Receive his last commands. <br />From that mild teacher's parting lips <br />What tender accents fell! <br />The gentle precept which he gave <br />Became its author well. <br />“Blest is the man whose softening heart <br />Feels all another's pain; <br />To whom the supplicating eye <br />Was never raised in vain. <br /> <br />“Whose breast expands with generous warmth <br />A stranger's woes to feel; <br />And bleeds in pity o'er the wound <br />He wants the power to heal. <br />“He spreads his kind supporting arms <br />To every child of grief; <br />His secret bounty largely flows, <br />And brings unasked relief. <br />“To gentle offices of love <br />His feet are never slow; <br />He views through mercy's melting eye <br />A brother in a foe. <br />“Peace from the bosom of his God, <br />My peace to him I give; <br />And when he kneels before the throne, <br />His trembling soul shall live. <br /> <br />“To him protection shall be shown, <br />And mercy from above <br />Descend on those who thus fulfill <br />The perfect law of love.”<br /><br />Anna Laetitia Barbauld<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/behold-5/
