Nature

Bound upon th' accursed tree

by Josiah Conder 1789–1855

From The Poets and the Poetry of the Century, ed. Alfred H. Miles

Nature

Bound upon th' accursed tree,
Faint and bleeding, who is He?
By the eyes so pale and dim,
Streaming blood, and writhing limb,
By the flesh with scourges torn,
By the crown of twisted thorn.
