SIMON THE CYRENIAN
Ee . never spoke a word to mo, And yet He called my name. He never gave a sign to sec. And yet I knew and came. At first I said, " I will not bear His Cross Upon my back— He only seeks to place it there Because my, skin is blank." But he was dying for a dream, And He was very meek; And in His eyes there shone a gleam Men journey far to seek. It was Himself my pity bought. I did for/ Christ alone "What all of Home could not have wrought .With bruise oii lash or stone. —Oountee Cullen.
