A WAYSIDE cross at set of day <br />Unto my sprit thus did say— <br />"O soul, my branching arms you see <br />Point four ways to infinity. <br /> <br />"One points to infinite above, <br />5 <br />To show the height of heavenly love. <br />"Two point to infinite width, which shows <br />That heavenly love no limit knows. <br /> <br />"One points to infinite beneath, <br />To show God's love is under death. <br />10 <br /> <br />"The four arms join, an emblem sweet <br />That in God's heart all loves will meet." <br />I thanked the cross as I turned away <br />For such sweet thoughts in the twilight grey.<br /><br />Frederick George Scott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-wayside-cross/
