There was a web, ere Time began, / Woven on the loom of God, / Woven for the need of Man. / Through the web two colors ran, / Blue that is the sky of God, / Red that is the blood of Man. / The web was woven, the web was one: / The stars sang when the work was done.
God had willed it to be worn -- / Fit garment for the heavenly feast -- / By Man, that was to be His son. / Only God could dream that dream! / When Time began, and Man was born, / He clothed himself in the skin of the beast, / And under it beat the heart of the beast. / Not till Man be born God's son / Shall he wear the Coat without a Seam!
