I Sat In Heaven Like The Sun Above A Storm When Winter Was: I Took The Snowflakes One By One And Turned Their Fragile Shapes To Glass: I Washed The Rivers Blue With Rain And Made The Meadows Green Again. I Took The Birds And Touched Their Springs, Until They Sang Unearthly Joys: They Flew About On Golden Wings And Glittered Like An Angel'S Toys: I Filled The Fields With Flowers' Eyes, As White As Stars In Paradise. And Then I Looked On Man And Knew Him Still Intent On Death - Still Proud; Whereat Into A Rage I Flew And Turned My Body To A Cloud: In The Dark Shower Of My Soul The Star Of Earth Was Swallowed Whole.
