When Jesus had received the wine, he said, "It is finished."
Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
-- John 19:30

The Crucifixion

At the cry of the first bird
They began to crucify Thee, 0 Swan!
Never shall lament cease because of that.
It was like the parting of day from night.
Ah, sore was the suffering borne By the body of Mary's Son,
But sorer still to Him was the grief
Which for His sake Came upon His Mother.
