    Now stamp the Lord’s Prayer on a grain of rice,
    A Bible-leaved of all the written woods
    Strip to this tree: a rocking alphabet,
    Genesis in the root, the scarecrow word,
    And one light’s language in the book of trees.

    The wrath of it your only fear.

    To make you see, but your are blind;
    You cannot leave it long enough
    To look before you or behind.
