Sarah, with eyes straight,
Knowing and luminous,
I have no familiarity with the devil.
Sarah, with eyes clear,
Glowing and brilliant,
I am no witch.
Sarah, with Biblical name,
Slender, with graceful curves,
Sarah, confident and calm,
A form a man could not deny.
Sarah, executed to pay for his sins.
Sarah, illustrative of the fall
In the garden where man blamed God
For his worship of the gift,
For his fashioning of an idol
From the clay-pot he called woman.
Eve was no witch.
