The miracled water turned to wine
That the-wedding- guest might quaff it?
Miracled fishes and loaves of bsead,
And Lazarus miracled back from the dead
Or any miracle heard or read?
Well, pray you, why should scoff it?
For ! look up through my miracle eyes
To the miracle skies above me,
Then / look at you and / realize
A miracle for and of me-
Something has turned my blood to wine
Something has laid your lips on mine.
Greatest Of miraclesl this its sign,
That You are alive and love me!
