The sonnet describes how the thorns that once crowned Jesus in mockery are now a radiant, divine garland, reshaped by His victory over death. The bloodshed in agony transforms into beams of light, and the thorns bloom into roses, symbolizing grace. The cross, once a site of torment, rises as a majestic throne, proclaiming Christ’s triumph. The poem concludes by exalting this redemptive shift, where love converts suffering into an enduring, golden glory, celebrating Easter’s profound victory.
Where thorns once pierced the sacred brow in scorn,
Now blooms a crown no mortal hands could weave,
A garland wrought of light, by anguish torn,
Yet raised anew, its glory we receive.
The blood that stained the rugged wood with red,
Now flows as rays to gild the dawn’s embrace,
Each cruel barb, once harbinger of dread,
Becomes a rose in resurrection’s grace.
The cross, a scaffold grim, ascends a throne,
Its timbers sing where silence held its sway,
Through death’s defeat, the Savior’s might is shown,
A diadem of stars to light the day.
So hallowed be this triumph, pure and vast,
For love hath turned the thorns to gold at last.
