Where were you when the dawn was laid
And the stars in chorus burst and prayed?
Who marked out the earth with measured thread and wrapped the seas in a twilight bed?
Who sent the thunder to ride the rain and carved the path for the desert flame?
Who fathers frost on the window pane or teaches the eagle how
To reign
Have you held the silos filled with snow or watched the hail where
The storm clouds go?
Did you call the
Pleiades by name or loosen
Orion's frozen chain?
