Said God, despite perfection found in Three:"Let there be another in this place,And let him reflect glory back to me."
"Tis naught but a reflection of my face;Mankind shall rule a garden, bear a name.So let there be another in this place."
Trees bear fruit and helpers bear the blame--Serpents striking heels will be retried.Man has ruled a garden, borne a name.
Reflecting former glory mankind cried;His failing cast a shadow on such love.Serpents striking heels will be retried.
Oh man who stands as icon, not enough;Still one more will come to stand as king.Man's failing cast a shadow on such love.
Victory will come, the garden sings.Said God, despite perfection found in Three:"Still one more will come to stand as King,And let him reflect glory back to me."

A Terzanelle (mixture of Villanelle and Terza Rima), based on the concept of man's failure to reflect the glory of God in Eden, and the promise of Christ as the future perfect Icon to stand in our place.
