Poems (Rossetti, 1901)/The Descent from the Cross

​
THE DESCENT FROM THE CROSS.
IS this the Face that thrills with awe Seraphs who veil their face above?Is this the Face without a flaw, The Face that is the Face of Love?Yea, this defaced, a lifeless clod, Hath all creation's love sufficed,Hath satisfied the love of God, This Face the Face of Jesus Christ.
