’Neath radiant Star o’ Bethlehem.

Where lion-lorded gates met virgin vaults,ⁱ
Hermetic hierarchies whose faults converge’d,
Ancient seals traced primeval faults,
Astral powers echo’d Jupiter’s surge.

Myrrh met Balthazar’s hands, a lunar vow,
Golden sphere graced Melchior’s flame,
Frankincense breathed through Gaspar’s brow,
A triumvirate wrought upon Opus’ name.

’Neath radiant Star o’ Bethlehem,
A cosmic birth united prophecy with prime,
Enfolded by David’s sixfold stem;
Where flesh and flower fused timeless rhyme.

Within that celestial furnace, the Philosopher’s Stone,
All converged — Star heraldic, forever throne’d.
