Analysis of Broken and outpoured

royston 1946 (Reading)



The flask had been broken, and the perfume poured.
It was a love token for the One she adored
Nothing had been spoken, but so much was said,
by her words unspoken, and the tears that she shed.

His body was broken, and His blood outpoured.
The greatest love token, from Jesus our Lord.
words of love spoken, ’Forgive them,’ Jesus said.
as there wounded and broken, His life's blood He shed.
