Inscription for a Crucifix

---

(Écrit en bas d’un crucifix“Vous qui pleurez, venez à ce Dieu.”)

{Bk. III. iv., March, 1842.}

Ye weepers, the Mourner o’er mourners behold!
Ye wounded, come hither—the Healer enfold!
Ye gloomy ones, brighten ‘neath smiles quelling care—
Or pass—for this Comfort is found ev’rywhere.

{Footnote 1: Music by Gounod.}
