"0 Sun-Word, Thou shalt raise the earth-soul to Light
And bring down God into the lives of men;
Earth shall be my work-chamber and my house
My garden of life to plant a seed divine.
The mind of earth shall be a home of light,
The life of earth a tree growing towards heaven,
The body of earth a tabernacle of God. "

I created this piece as an element of a garden gate for my own garden.  At this time, though, my garden desires a rose.  I am an obedient gardener.
