A WAYSIDE cross at set of day
Unto my spirit thus did say —

" O soul, my branching arms you see
Point four ways to infinity.

" One points to infinite above,
To show the height of heavenly love.

" Two point to infinite width, which shows
That heavenly love no limit knows.

" One points to infinite beneath,
To show God's love is under death.

" The four arms join, an emblem sweet
That in God's heart all loves will meet."

I thanked the cross as I turned away
For such sweet thoughts in the twilight grey
