The little pansies by the road have turned	A
Away their purple faces and their gold	B
And evening has taken all the bees from the thyme	C
And all the scent is shed away by the cold	B
	-
Against the hard and pale blue evening sky	D
The mountain's new dropped summer snow is clear	E
Glistening in steadfast stillness like transcendent	F
Clean pain sending on us a chill down here	G
	-
Chirst on the Cross his beautiful young man's body	H
Has fallen dead upon the nails and hangs	I
White and loose at last with all the pain	J
Drawn on his mouth eyes broken at last by his pangs	I
	-
And slowly down the mountain road belated	K
A bullock wagon comes so I am ashamed	L
To gaze any more at the Christ whom the mountain snows	M
Whitely confront I wait on the grass am lamed	L
	-
The breath of the bullock stains the hard chill air	N
The band is across its brow and it scarcely seems	O
To draw the load so still and slow it moves	P
While the driver on the shaft sits crouched in dreams	O
	-
Surely about his sunburnt face is something	Q
That vexes me with wonder He sits so still	R
Here among all this silence crouching forward	L
Dreaming and letting the bullock take its will	R
	-
I stand aside on the grass to let them go	S
And Christ I have met his accusing eyes again	T
The brown eyes black with misery and hate that look	U
Full in my own and the torment starts again	T
	-
One moment the hate leaps at me standing there	N
One moment I see the stillness of agony	H
Something frozen in the silence that dare not be	H
Loosed one moment the darkness frightens me	H
	-
Then among the averted pansies beneath the high	D
White peaks of snow at the foot of the sunken Christ	L
I stand in a chill of anguish trying to say	V
The joy I bought was not too highly priced	L
	-
But he has gone motionless hating me	H
Living as the mountains do because they are strong	W
With a pale dead Christ on the crucifix of his heart	L
And breathing the frozen memory of his wrong	W
	-
Still in his nostrils the frozen breath of despair	N
And heart like a cross that bears dead agony	H
Of naked love clenched in his fists the shame	X
And in his belly the smouldering hate of me	H
	-
And I as I stand in the cold averted flowers	Y
Feel the shame wounds in his hands pierce through my own	Z
And breathe despair that turns my lungs to stone	Z
And know the dead Christ weighing on my bone	Z
