A dew-drop of the darkness born, <br />Wherein no shadow lies; <br />The blossom of a barren thorn, <br />Whereof no petal dies; <br />A rainbow beauty passion-free, <br />Wherewith was veiled Divinity.<br /><br />John Bannister Tabb<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-immaculate-conception/
