She called herself Sophie
But her first name was Christiane
And her last name means bold
At about the same age Mary reached
When she collapsed at the angel's feet
Feeling the I come into her
Little suffering Sophie died
Announcement of a similar kind
Thrilled through her willing blood
So he with whom nothing happened
Could enter the darkness of her love
And sing like John the Baptist
Christening her alive or like Raphael
All night painting his brave Madonnas
