Now age is on me and the yoke of time, I saw your risen Christ for I am he who reached the hyssop to him on the tree and I am one of two who watched beside The sepulchre of him we crucified. All that last night I watched with sleepless eyes Great stars arose and crept across the skies. Then suddenly an angel burning white came down with earthquake in the breaking light. And rolled the great stone from the sepulchre mixing the morning with a scent of myrrh. And lo, the dead had risen with the day The man of mystery had gone his way! Years have I wandered carrying my shame, now let the tooth of time eat out my name. For we who all the wonder might have told kept silence for our mouths were stopped with gold. Edwin Markham (1852-1940).	Email the Presbytery Priest on Call: Fr. J. Buggy Tel. (094) 21844
