Religion

Two Heavens

by Mary E. Coleridge 1861–1907

From Poems (1908)

Religion

Fair, O Nature, thy fulfilling!
Man may never match thee there.
Nay — for his achievement, killing
Flowery promise, works despair.
Flower and fruit to thee are given.
Autumn fair as Spring in birth.
Thou revealest Heaven from Heaven;
Man in Heaven discovers earth.
