FRINGED GENTIAN by ANNE ARNOLD CHASE

First Line: THE SUN-GOD, REACHING DOWN
Last Line: WE KNELT AND WORSHIPPED.
Subject(s): GARDENS & GARDENING; GODDESSES & GODS; MYTHOLOGY; SUN;

The sun-god, reaching down,
Caressed a garden on earth,
Opening a thousand blue eyes
With feathery, fringed lashes;
We knelt and worshipped.
