       CENTURIES AGO     

       In the solemn twilight, centuries ago,     

       God walked in His Garden, all His stars below;     

       God was very lonely, so He caused to grow     

       Man, in some ways like Him, centuries ago.     

  

       Man roamed through the twilight, centuries ago,     

       Always thinking, thinking—wishing he might know     

       Who it was that made him; then God caused to     

       grow     

       Woman, who was half-God, centuries ago.     

  

       These, within God's Garden, centuries ago,     

       Stood beneath the twilight calling very low     

       To some voice to answer, whereby they might     

       know     

       Had God really made them—centuries ago.
