edgar bainton - in the wilderness lyrics
christ of his gentleness
thirsting and hungering
walked in the wilderness;
soft words of grace he spoke
unto lost desert+folk
that listned wondering
he heard the bittern call
from ruined palace+wall
answered him brotherly;
he held communion
with the she+pelican
of lonely piety
basilisk, c+ckatrice
flocked to his homilies
with mail of dread device
with monstrous barbed stings
with eager dragon+eyes;
great bats on leathern wings
and old, blind, broken things
mean in their miseries
then ever with him went
of all his wanderings
comrade, with ragged coat
gaunt ribs ++ poor innocent ++
bleeding foot, burning throat
the guileless young scapegoat;
for forty nights and days
followed in jesus’ ways
sure guard behind him kept
tears like a lover wept
