A Miracle? Is it more strange than nature's common way? From out the common clay A shaft of green is lifted toward the sun, And from its heart is spun Fair fabrics ere its day is done Whorled leaves, an airy stem, A crimson, fragile diadem, And who can tell Whence came the power thus to compel A little seed beneath the sod To fashion such a wondrous rod? A miracle?A thought of God Which science scorns Is it more strange than flowers and thorns That spring these mystic forms to birth From out the trodden paths of Earth? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LATERNA MAGICA by ELAINE TERRANOVA MIRACLES by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH THE LAME SHEPHERD by KATHARINE LEE BATES AS THY DAYS SO SHALL THY STRENGTH BE by GEORGIANA KLINGLE HOLMES |
