JESUS.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

When thirty years shall have gone by,

I at Jerusalem shall die,

By Jewish hands exalted high

On the accursed tree,

Then on my right and my left side,

These thieves shall both be crucified,

And Titus thenceforth shall abide

In paradise with me.

 

Here a great rumor of trumpets and horses, like the noise of a

king with his army, and the robbers shall take flight.
