Christina The Astonishing |
| Christina the Astonishing |
| Lived a long time ago |
| She was stricken with a seizure |
| At the age of twenty-two |
| They took her body in a coffin |
| To a tiny church in Liege |
| Where she sprang up from the coffin |
| Just after the Agnus Dei |
| She soared up to the rafters |
| Perched on a beam up there |
| Cried «The stink of human sin |
| Is more that I can bear» |
| Christina the Astonishing |
| Was the most astonishing of all |
| She prayed balanced on a hurdle |
| Or curled up into a ball |
| She fled to remote places |
| Climbed towers and trees and walls |
| To escape the stench of human corruption |
