Walking in the sky

by Stephen Crane

Stephen Crane

Walking in the sky,
A man in strange black garb
Encountered a radiant form.
Then his steps were eager;
Bowed he devoutly.
"My Lord," said he.
But the spirit knew him not.

    Mother Earth
    by Patience Worth
    Earth, thou ancient cradle, rocking Creation! Earth, old mother of man, man whose lips Have pressed thy breast since Time. Earth, reproachless, ope-armed mother!
