Pullulations
of plants, actions
Of
animals,expenditure
Of
energy all source themselves
On
one centre of light and heat:
Hyssop
and cedar, ant and man
Sustained
in sap or blood, flowing
Because
of one emanation.

Thus
all the people found a man:
"Go
to Joseph" was the king's counsel.
The
great administration flowed
From
the granaries his wisdom had built.
By
this foresight, and this organisation,
He
acquired the name "Sustainer of Life".
iii
The
Originator of Life having been killed
Out
of that death whose power could not hold Him
Issues
the life we dwell in now as His.
Death
has no claim on those who are His kin;
The
darkest tomb His victory has lit;
He
holds death's keys and leads us out to bliss.
