Earth bore me, Water fed me, Air bathed me, Fire stirred me. Earth my substance, Water my fullness, Air my strength, Fire my joy. I was lifted up, I was cut down, I was broken, I was burned. Earth I was, Water bound me, Air leavened me, Fore formed me. All four elements Of the round worls Meet in me For man’s feeding. For I am strength, I am cleanness, I am freedom, I am light. I am lifted up, And draw men unto me, The fair white body Of God’s Son. ‘Bread’ by J.D.C. Pellow .
