MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 
JAN. 2.

ON A PICTURE BY PAUL VERONESE. 
FT CAROLINE A. HOWARD. 
Jesc-r, blessed Lord and Savior! can it be, 
A face like this, once beamed on Calvary? 
Are these the eyes that once with grief o’erflowcd, 
For lost Jerusalem, thy loved abode? 
Arc these the locks that once the night-winds stirred 
When in Gethsemane thy prayer was heard: 
Is this the brow which once with thorns was crowned 
When, to the cross, thy mortal form was bound: 
O, how did Judas dare, on such a face as this, 
To press the poison of a traitor’s kiss? 
How could thy foes e’er meet the glance divine, 
Of holy love, shed from those eyes of thine; 
And shrink not, awe-strnck and abashed away, 
Before that soul their malice could not slay? 
0! would that mine had been that mission sweet, 
Of gentle Mart, who beside thy feet, 
Thy words of wisdom garnered in her heart 
All care forgetting, in this “ better part.” 
Could I have felt the magic of thy smile, 
It seems no power could e’er again beguile 
My wayward soul, or tempt my heart to rove 
Beyond the limits of thy guardian love. 
But since for me that precious life was giv’n 
To win from Death the heritage of Heav’n, 
May it my guide, my fixed example be, 
’Till my poor, feeble light shall lade in Thee. 
Dedham, Mass., 1857.
