POETRY: A Magazine of Verse

And after him there was a man named Paul
Who almost spoiled it all.

And protozoan things like hypocrites,
And parasitic things who make a food
Of the mysteries of God for earthly power,
Must wonder how before this young man's hour
They lived without his blood
Shed on that day, and which
In red cells is so rich.
