I saw You once :
You bore a cross,
You read the news -
I was at loss ...
I thought : "The fake !" -
But it was not :
Colossus smashed,
Still I am not !
The second time
You put across
Your exaltation,
Fervent gloss -
For me vociferous it was -
Yet not a word
Of Yours was lost !
I heard Your voice -
The third time was the last ...
Your soul's above,
Times past -
Live words will last !
