Created purely from glass the saint standsB
Exposing his gifted quite empty handsB
Like a conjurer about to beginC
A righteous man begging of righteous menD

In the sun lily and gold colouredE
Filtering the cruder light he has enduredF
A feature for our regard and will keepG
Of worldly purity the stained archetypeH

The scummed pond twitches The great holly treeI
Emptied and shut blows clear of wasting snowJ
The common puddled substance beneathK
Like a revealed mineral a new earthL
