Trust in the Unexpected —
By this — was William Kidd
Persuaded of the Buried Gold —
As One had testified —
Through this — the old Philosopher —
His Talismanic Stone
Discerned — still withholden
To effort undivine —
‘Twas this — allured Columbus —
When Genoa — withdrew
Before an Apparition
Baptized America —
The Same — afflicted Thomas —
When Deity assured
‘Twas better — the perceiving not —
Provided it believed —
