In The Beginning

EN sunshine met the wave,  Then love was born;

Then Venus rose to save  A world forlorn.

For light a thousand wings          Of joy unfurled,

And bound with golden rings  The icy world.

And color flamed the earth  With glad desire,        Till life sprang to the birth,  Fire answering fire,

And so the world awoke,  And all was done,

When first the ocean spoke          Unto the sun.
