Forsaken

Elizabeth Browning - 1806 to 1861, wife our renowned English poet Robert Browning…

Yea, once Immanuel’s orphaned cry His universe hath shaken.
It went up single, echoless, “My God, I am forsaken!”
It went up from the Holy’s lips amid His lost creation…
…that, of the lost, no son, no daughter, should use those words of desolation.
