A Bit of Heaven

         
This world was made in a moment of peace,
   

        
Planned by a master hand;

       
A bit of heaven, a bit of sea,

       
A bit of smiling land,

     
A ribbon of golden sunlight,
         

      
A filtered bit of moon's ray,
        

      
A trembling night of sheer delight,
      

      
A glorious, wonderful day.

                 - G. Manners (The Soul, 1918)
