Likewise

Like life beneath deep waters,
Light above leaved canopies,
Salvation in the belly of a whale;

Like abundant flour and oil,
Manna in the wilderness
Two fish, five loaves, twelve baskets;

Like blossoms in the desert,
An alter in the lone and dreary world,
Like Egypt, A refuge, a refuge;

Like hen-gathered chicks,
Sheep securely folded,
Calm sails on a turbulent sea;

Like a straight and narrow path,
A rod of iron,
The true and constant Star.
