Passion-Flowers (Howe)/Stanzas (Of the heaven is generation)
STANZAS.
Of the heaven is generation,
Fruition in the deep earth lies;
And where the twain have broadest blending,
The stateliest growths of life arise.
Fruition in the deep earth lies;
And where the twain have broadest blending,
The stateliest growths of life arise.
Set then thy root in earth more firmly,
Raise thy fair head erect and free,
And spread thy loving arms so widely,
That heaven and earth shall meet in thee.
Raise thy fair head erect and free,
And spread thy loving arms so widely,
That heaven and earth shall meet in thee.
