And ventured on: “Do you recall

The tax when Caesar said to all

The world that each must be enrolled?”

Old Jacob winced, “Are north winds cold?

Are deserts dry? Do fishes swim

And ravens fly? I do. A grim

And awful year it was for me

When God ordained that strange decree.

To pay, and I must see how much.

A grim and awful year?” He raised

The stump of his right arm. “So dazed,

My arm. Do you know what it cost

For me to house the Son of God?”

And swept it ’round the place: “Empty.
