For this
one purpose fell the seed;
For this
one purpose fell the rain.
(The soil
was yielding-soft that clasped
The
tree-to-be, the buried grain)
For this
one purpose grew the tree
On some
far, bare Judean hill.
For this
one purpose came the axe
And every
stroke the Father’s will.
For this
one purpose planks were planed
From the
straight trunk; fixed crossbeam-wise.
The
apparatus was raised up
A stark,
black cross against the skies.
