Strawberries in the fields Blueberries in the swamps, All that Nature yields Bears that Godlike stamp. Walnuts in the fall Found among the leaves Now earth in sorrow grieves For beauty she has lost To man's abhorrent greed Who reckons not the cost To sate his endless need. A new force has come down, Man's fate no longer sure A spiritual pauper grown For being so impure May seek for evermore What once alone was his When divinity he bore And suffered Godhead's kiss.
