It happened long ago, in Palestine's deep wild,
\nYet still we bow our heads, in reverence reconciled,
\nBefore the mighty secret of the Cosmic Soul
\nThat came to dwell within a human son, made whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By the river, a wandering clan was in a swarm \u2013
\nAn unwise and a dark, benighted tribe!
\nAnd none of them attempted, through the grey and uniform,
\nInto the present time's true core to probe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Into the stagnant waters, breath of living Fire
\nWas sent by the Abode, the living Source.
\n\"But One who comes after is greater in His power,\"
\nThe departing Teacher tells us on His course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You stroked a blade of grass upon the yellow ground,
\nYou turned, and we fell silent, held in thrall,
\nFor on Your calm, cold brow we saw, at last, profound,
\nThe Cross of Love and sorrow, great and all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And it flashed before us like a falling star,
\nThat quiet, lilac evening, soft and deep,
\nWhen the Cross that burns above Your head, afar,
\nWould be accepted by frail shoulders, in Your keep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And later, lighting up the cities in the night,
\nThe pavements on the sleepy, quiet streets,
\nAbove a cross the same, a star will shine its light,
\nGathering those You saved in holy feats.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
