Inscription For A Crucifix.{1} by Victor Hugo

 ("Vous qui pleurez, venez à ce Dieu.") 
 
 {Bk. III. iv., March, 1842.} 


 Ye weepers, the Mourner o'er mourners behold! 
 Ye wounded, come hither—the Healer enfold! 
 Ye gloomy ones, brighten 'neath smiles quelling care— 
 Or pass—for this Comfort is found ev'rywhere. 
 
 {Footnote 1: Music by Gounod.}
