Show Ecce Cor Meum! (Rev. W. J. Ennis, S. J.) We gaze, sweet Lord, -upon that Heart of Thine And see, the spear-thrust and the circling cir-cling thorn Ope-sesames to golden secret? born" Of love's own wealth within a Heart divine. di-vine. Whose lying lips drink the rose-crowned chaliced wine Of sense, which blinds the soul as mists the morn; The selfish eyes from sorrow turned in scorn Are mutely dumb before that symboled shrine. The symbol on that Heart is one of love. Thus years agone the sainted Bernard writ. And sorrow crowned, the meek and pure from sin Alone can rede aright this treasure-trove treasure-trove With bjessed Bernard who interprets it "The outward wound shows wounded wound-ed Love within." |
