Joseph – Blank Verse

^{Enthroned and robed in royal dress sat he;}^{His hands alone providing sustenance}^{To nations and to men. Come all to him!}^{Enter bowing low and humble, you princes}^{Of distant lands: bring tribute from your best!}^{For sustenance and life has God made his.}^{How unrecognizable then was he}^{In royal robes to bowing stars and sheaves,}^{Whose great disdain could not imagine such}^{Of dreams fantastic realized by God.}
