Wisdom + 

The true faith discovered was + 

When painted panel, statuary, + 

Glass-mosaic, window-glass, + 

Straightened all that went awry + 

When some peasant gospeller + 

Imagined Him upon the floor + 

Of a working-carpenter. + 

Miracle had its playtime where + 

In damask clothed and on a seat, + 

Chryselephantine, cedar boarded, + 

His majestic Mother sat + 

Stitching at a purple hoarded, + 

That He might be nobly breeched, + 

In starry towers of Babylon + 

Noah’s freshet never reached. + 

King Abundance got Him on + 

Innocence; and Wisdom He. + 

That cognomen sounded best + 

Considering what wild infancy + 

Drove horror from His Mother’s breast. + 
