'''Author''': Hu Daileng

'''Description''': A long poem said to have been written by a follower of Sextes Jylis in the years shortly after he departed Creation. It weaves the tale of a journey across Creation, marvelling at seeds sewn by the Immaculate Dragon now grown to large and verdant plants. Though not part of the Immaculate Texts, the poem remains popular with the Immaculate Order.

One section of the poem tells of an encounter with a bird, that gives name to the [[Seven-faced Bird]]:

''Bird, bright of face and fan of tail,

I see you amidst the roots hungering still.

Seven faces do you show me at what you find,

Though nothing stops you from your work.

All seeds and sprouts vanish to your gobbling gullet,

That anything survived to grow is itself a miracle.''
