‘Elder father, though thine eyes <br />Shine with hoary mysteries, <br />Canst thou tell what in the heart <br />Of a cowslip blossom lies? <br /> <br />‘Smaller than all lives that be, <br />Secret as the deepest sea, <br />Stands a little house of seeds, <br />Like an elfin’s granary. <br /> <br />‘Speller of the stones and weeds, <br />Skilled in Nature’s crafts and creeds, <br />Tell me what is in the heart <br />Of the smallest of the seeds.’ <br /> <br />‘God Almighty, and with Him <br />Cherubim and Seraphim, <br />Filling all eternity— <br />Adonai Elohim.’<br /><br />Gilbert Keith Chesterton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-holy-of-holies/
