Not illustrated. 1895 Excerpt: ...his bleeding hands, And I see his feet all weary and worn, His wounded breast and His crown of thorn! Out of the Fold. 101 Merciful Christ, with the princely grace, Merciful Christ, with the sad, sweet face, Merciful Christ, with the mournful eyes, Remember me when the daylight dies! Merciful Christ, thou hast followed afar Under midnight moon, under evening star, Treading with tears through forest and flood, And tracing thy path with the stains of Hood.
