Life and Death
God walked in heaven, on high, afar.
God thought a happy thought, and smiled.
The thought fell earthward like a star;
The thought became a new-born child.
God thought a happy thought, and smiled.
The thought fell earthward like a star;
The thought became a new-born child.
God walked and wondered: “Yesterday
What happy thought my heart enthralled?”
Cold, white, and sweet the infant lay—
God, smiling, had His thought recalled.
