He came from Bethany
where were His lovers
Towards Jerusalem
where there was spurning;
In genuine manhood
the Lord Himself was hungry:
He saw one tree
whose foliage was abundant.
Seeking for figs He
found that there was nothing
And solemnly He
spoke to it and cursed it.
Quickly it dried up
so that the watchers wondered.
The tree was symbol
of His own people's dullness:
They saw His grace
and felt it was repugnant.
The best of flesh
was found to be unworthy
Exposed to One who
should have gained their worship.
He spent His
strength but their response was nullness.
