, by Raphael shown, Love's sacrament!

Earth's curtains part, God's veil is lifted up;

There comes a Child, forth from His Bosom sent

To rule the feast of life, His Bread and Cup,

His purpose making plain with man to sup.

Out-streams the light, accomplished is the Sign,

A Virgin-Mother clasps a Babe Divine.
