PS 653 E4 GOD said, "Let there be light!" Grim darkness felt his might, And fled away; Then startled seas and mountains cold Shone forth, all bright in blue and gold, 66 And cried," "Tis day! 't is day!" Hail, holy light!" exclaimed The thunderous cloud that flamed O'er daisies white; And lo! the rose, in crimson dressed, Leaned sweetly on the lily's breast, And blushing, murmured "Light!"
