Appeared like god in the sunset sky,
But I was one of the children told
Some of the dust was really gold.

The shore was lucky in being backed by cliff,
The cliff in being backed by continent;

Before God's last Put out the Light was spoken.

Prune ye my vines and fig trees, With care my flowers tend, But keep the pathway open Your home is at the end." God's Garden

And by the example of our Declaration
Make everybody want to be a nation.

Roughly discriminated for the rough.

I was running with joy on the Demon's trail,
Though I knew what I hunted was no true god.

God once declared He was true
And then took the veil and withdrew....

Live and let live, believe and let believe.
'Twas said the lesser gods were only traits
Of the one awful God. Just so the saints
Are God's white light refracted into colors.

There you have the beginning of all wisdom.
