The sonnet celebrates the cross as the ultimate source of victory and glory. It portrays the cross as a triumphant symbol that overcomes all earthly challenges, transforming sorrow into joy and death into life. With a tone of exultation, it emphasizes the unconquerable power and radiant love embodied in the cross, declaring it the sole foundation of the speaker’s boundless, defiant glory.

Upon the cross, my triumph loudly sings,
A victor’s shout that echoes through the skies,
No earthly force can chain these soaring wings,
For in its might, my glory boldly rises.

The rugged beams, once stained with sorrow’s hue,
Now gleam with joy, a banner lifted high,
A conquering love has shattered death anew,
And crowned my soul with anthems that defy.

Let tempests rage, let darkness vainly roar,
The cross prevails, my radiant delight,
Its power reigns, unshaken evermore,
A blazing dawn that banishes the night.

In this alone, my heart exults to claim,
A boundless glory in the cross’s name!
