Emily Dickinson Fansite Madonna Fansite U2 Watch A hand omnipotent, in endless space, From chaos, formed a world and found a place, Where, through the countless ages, yet unborn, A star might shine from dusk to rosy morn. Great mountains rose, majestic in their might, And sun-kissed hills, aglow with mellow light, And rippling streams went purling through the dales, To silver lakes that glistened in the vales. A subtle fragrance filled each shifting breeze, The scent of flowers in bloom and budding trees. So beautiful the earth, in Nature's eyes, A soul was sent to dwell, in human guise, A form of god-like beauty and of might. To drink the sunshine and to dream at night, WesternBoots GirlShoes BoysShoes In those old days, when first the world began, Strange visions came to Nature's first child, Man. Unclad and lone, he roved from spot to spot And longed and yearned for something which was not. Until, at last, a prayer went up to Heaven And Nature's noblest gift to man was given: A gentle, throbbing, trembling, beauteous maid, Fair as the man, but with a softer shade, Endowed with beauty and a thousand charms That sought the sheltering clasp of loving arms. As children play, in childhood's happy hours, They romped and played among the sylvan bowers, Or sported in the streams whose waters sweet Ran cool beneath the trees at Noonday's heat. And when night's sable banners were unfurled And darkness wound her arms about the world, On beds of roses, in some vine-clad nest, Their drowsy senses found untroubled rest And wandering zephyrs swetp across them there, Unclad, but anashamed, in Eden fair. No thought had come to them of wild desire And yet, at times, a smouldering, hidden fire Seemed slumbering deep within and fiercer burned. When, in their sleep, they toward each other turned, One ambient night of blissful summer-time, A perfect night of Eden's balmy clime, Eve stretched her languorous limbs in restless sleep And Adam, at her side, sought slumber deep. Some trifling thing, perhaps a wind-swayed fern, A leaf--a bird--caused both of them to turn. Eve's rounded arm was thrown above her head, Her dimpled knee, just lifted from its bed, When, by this chance, this trifle, light as air, Their warm lips met, and, trembling, lingered there. They slept no more from dusk to rosy dawn, 'Mongst roses red or on some grassy lawn, But wakened often, from strange dreams of bliss, To find their mouths all melting in a kiss. Their hearts were filled with vague, unknown desire, Nor knew they how to quench the wondrous fire. A wild unrest upon them settled down And Adam's brow would often wear a frown, And then again, he'd stroke her glorious hair And gaze into her eyes and call her fair, Then clasp her fiercely, with encircling arm, As though to shield her from impending harm, Then wildly kiss her--eyes--mouth--neck and breast, While she against him, tightly, closely press't. Still waited, hungered, starved for something more. Yet little knew what nature had in store. Just how the fall occurred, so long ago, The modern world should naturally know. Not touching on his grievous fall from grace, But just a hint at what we knoe took place, And if his fall was premature, what then! That sometimes happens to the best of men |
