Heaven’s Man
Who then first found the cosmos in a man,
Divided minutes of his arc, set axis?
If man be heaven's, then heaven is for man,
And this his truth, how big the universe.
He is no sun that planets orb and orb,
Or like the moon, his body old and dead,
Nor is he earth, that planet swirling through
His sphere, or other, Mars or Jupiter.
What is man that heaven admired him,
Or sons of men to be so greeting them?
Creating heaven with a touch, his fingers,
God gave to man dominion of his hands.
In all the world and worlds beyond oh Lord,
I seek to serve you and to know your word.
