KNOWLES Elizabeth Bonker I think that I shall never see A window as lovely as thee. Sophia and the liberal arts Embody church values and hearts. Our queen will go to any length For wisdom is better than strength. God’s perfect wisdom, perfect love Shines down on faithful from above.

Elizabeth Bonker is a junior majoring in Social Innovation. Her life mission is Communication for All nonspeaking people. She wrote this poem about our beloved Knowles Chapel in place of an essay on a final exam.
Christ came to bring God’s love and light Reflected in Knowles’ chapel bright. Vaulted ceilings reach to heaven Remind us of what we’ve been given. Christ as the path back to our God Found in this place and in the Word. The only place with values poor Is in the frieze found o’er the door. With Natives squat and Euros proud The message shouts: “Exploiter!” loud. Christ sees all God’s good creation With love and her contemplation.
