God made a tree

God made a tree. Man felled it and with craft and cunning fashioned it crosswise. God hung on it. God made a rose. Man plucked it and with crooked skill twisted its thorns crownwise. God wore it. God made a stone. Man hewed it and sealed Him in a tomb with it gravewise. God rose from it.
