The Joy Of Creation.

Topics: classic

How must have thrilled the great Creator's mind      With radiant, glad and satisfying joy,     Ever new self-expressive forms to find      In those six days of rapturous employ!     How must He have delighted when He made      The stars, and meted ocean with His span,     And formed the insect and the tender blade,      And fashioned, after His own image, man!     And unto man such joy in his degree      He hath appointed, work of mind and hand,     To mould in forms of useful symmetry      Words, hues, wood, iron, stone, at his command     To toil upon the navigable sea      And ply his industry upon the land.
