The sonnet is a reverent meditation on the Lamb of God, a Christian symbol of Jesus Christ, focusing on His purity, sacrifice, and redemptive power. It portrays the Lamb standing on a sacred mount, embodying peace and illuminating humanity’s darkness with His radiant, sinless presence. Despite bearing the weight of human grief, His untainted nature and blood—flowing like a cleansing river—wash away sin, transforming despair into light. The thorns crowning His brow and His wounds are celebrated as symbols of grace and mercy, proclaiming an enduring love that warms the soul. The poem culminates in the triumphant declaration that the Lamb’s death conquers the grave, and His boundless love lays the foundation for eternal songs of praise, inspiring heavenly worship.

Upon the sacred mount where tempests cease,
The Lamb of God, with meek and radiant gaze,
Doth stand as emblem of eternal peace,
His gentle steps illuming darkened days.

No sin can taint His pure and spotless frame,
Though mortal grief He bears with silent might,
His blood, a river flowing from His name,
Cleanses the heart and turns the dusk to light.

The thorns that pierce His brow, a crown of grace,
Proclaim His love through ages yet untold,
Each wound a testament to mercy’s face,
Each sigh a warmth to thaw the spirit’s cold.

O Lamb divine, whose death defeats the grave,
Thy boundless love eternal anthems pave.
