The Crown of Thorns
Frederick George Scott 1861 (Montreal, Quebec) – 1944 (Quebec City, Quebec)
WITH each new day new cares will wait for thee,
Trials and heart-aches; yet do thou not fear,
But take them lovingly, and, weaving them
Into a crown of thorns, wear and let be
For ever on thy head, a diadem,
5
More royal than gold, the dearest token here
Of that sad voice that whispers, "Follow Me."
