To put this World down, like a Bundle --

To put this World down, like a Bundle --
And walk steady, away,
Requires Energy -- possibly Agony --
'Tis the Scarlet way

Trodden with straight renunciation
By the Son of God --
Later, his faint Confederates
Justify the Road --

Flavors of that old Crucifixion --
Filaments of Bloom, Pontius Pilate sowed --
Strong Clusters, from Barabbas' Tomb --

Sacrament, Saints indorsed[^a1]partook before us --
Patent, every drop,
With the Stamp[^a2]Brand of the Gentile Drinker
Who enforced[^a3]indorsed the Cup --

[^a1: indorsed | indorsed]

[^a2: Stamp | Stamp]

[^a3: enforced | enforced]
