He would kiss the hands where the nails went in;

And then at the last would sit with Him

And break the bread as the day grew dim.

VI

While the cobbler mused, there passed his pane

A beggar drenched by the driving rain.

He called him in from the stony street

And gave him shoes for his bruisèd feet.

The beggar went and there came a crone,

Her face with wrinkles of sorrow sown.
