"There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God's rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from his." (Hebrews 9.9-10, NIV)

The rose unfolds, creation of a world,
And, baptised on the rising of the sun,
Alight with splendoured loveliness, she rests
In faith, encrimsoned by her dawning love.
