Just a third of a bushel o' wheat Washed and drained to dry in sunlight Nine to three is the intense heat Lifting on his left shoulder plate He cried, Lord what a deadly weight Laser look beams on mental screen The via Dolorosa slate The fall on the third station scene
Under weight of wheat, gleaned and clean Tobe dried, ground, battered with yeast The staggered steps to sunroof lean Yet Lo! On the last night feast Lowering Himself to the least Offered Himself as living bread The weight of wheat thought got released As the promise gained over head
Its all to be a little Christ To keep the life treasure unpriced
