Dispensation of the Divine

Underneath a gorgeous forenoon sky, In a lush and cool garden of delight, The green pheasant lifts his exploring eye, Calling his all wise sage beyond his sight. His melodious song praises the divine One, Whose luminance descends in a beam, Touching within the shrine bright as the sun, Turning every thing gold as in a dream. The Lord rests now upon His noble throne, Calling all to climb up the stairs of stone. There my reverie of Jesus commenced-- The glory of His office deified, His knowledge of man’s history there dispensed, His science of the present thither described. Wisdom of the future was His display, Myself humbled to receive His cachet. Five years of learning was spent at this shrine-- Proving command of as many disciplines-- Crossing the bridge from human to Divine, His acute knowledge of miracles begins. Then writing for His testimonial, Also history that brightens the wise, With focus on the rites ceremonial, And how theocracy does authorize. Divine authority added to His reign, With the King’s seal He departs the domain.
