Here is his poem on Jesus Christ:-

1.The Lord came died upon the cross,

And rose up resurrected on the third day,

Devoted and glorious Mary Magdalene

Was witness to this wondrous event

Listen, countrymen, to its secret meaning;

The gods will come and live within us,

And shield us from evil, and redeem us for ever

If only we would shed our pride of self.

2.Look! Mary Magdalene is Love incarnate;

And look! Jesus Christ is the Holy Spirit!

If first we shed this embroiled evil,

Godly sacred life will manifest itself in three days.

Mary Magdalene, Love incarnate, saw the radiant vision

Of that godly sacred life beaming from the face

Of golden splendour, and praised it in adoration

This is bliss indeed! The greatest, most ecstatic bliss!’

3.If you tie the senses fast to the Cross called Truth,

And hammer them down with the nails of austere penance

Gloriously great and sacred life will shine with radiant splendour

In the sublime and celestial body of Lord Jesus Christ.

Look! Mary Magdalene is true womanhood incarnate;

And Jesus Christ is eternal virtue, which all cherish and revere!

Look! This is the finest, greatest secret, and inmost, mystic meaning;

Yet anyone can learn and practise it in just a moment’s time.
