From heaven’s mighty grace,
through the winds in great debase,
I was cast onto for greatest strife
and replaced life
in it’s place.
I was sent with this only hope :
Gift mankind a hiding scope,
so may in their greatest gloom
they plant some joys,
and let Nature bloom .
I knew I had the shortest while,
to grow my image of greatest vile,
and from crawling to walking
will I roam this Earth?
and together die a natural birth
with a human smile …
