-
Who were the Father and the SonB
We pondered when a childC
And what had they to do with usD
And when portentous toldE
-
With inference appallingF
By Childhood fortifiedG
We thought at least they are no worseH
Than they have been describedI
-
Who are the Father and the SonB
Did we demand TodayJ
The Father and the Son himselfK
Would doubtless specifyL
-
But had they the felicityM
When we desired to knowN
We better Friends had been perhapsO
Than time ensue to beM
-
We start to learn that we believeP
But once entirelyM
Belief it does not fit so wellQ
When altered frequentlyM
-
We blush that Heaven if we achieveP
Event ineffableR
We shall have shunned until ashamedS
To own the MiracleR
