The Crown of Thorns.
They pressed a crown' upon His brow, And mocked at Him, the King, And let their laughter to the heavens Iri derision ring/ A crown of thorns from a lowly bush; How fitting for His head! "See how you like your crown, O King!" The jeering mockers said.V ' But Christ looked down arid smile.d at at them, And though his eyes were sad, The sharp thorns did not thrust so deep; They made His heart glad. No King's crown could have been so rich In glorious beauty yet unfurled, For on the lowly bush of thorns Crimson roses curled. — Nellie E. Donovan.
