Poem: “The Nazareth Mines”

The Nazareth Mines
(Poem about the Immaculate Conception)

When Rome was
Of the world –
And Master Moon
Was free –

And Mistress Midnight
Bedizened –
In show-star
Finery.

A tiny sparkle
Caught
Miss Mistress Midnight’s
Eye –

And captured Master
Moon
Who paled
And gasped a sigh –

But Rome still
Of the world
Had doctors observe
Ceiling signs –

And missed the Immaculate
Diamond –
Debouching from
Nazareth mines.
