Creation
At the beginning
God created the sky
And the earth,
which was shapeless and desert
And darkness
cover’d the abysses close by;
But on the waters,
with divine, expert
Zeal, God
established that obscurity
Had to be opened
to the bright alert!
God, seeing that
it was good, called Day the light.
And the darkness
instead was named Night.
Then beneath the waters,
the firmament
set God, and
between them, b’low, the dry land
He also set,
whither at same moment,
To any bud and
tree He gave command
From seed to be
produc’d for nourishment
Of any species, in
ground, soil or sand!
After He had named
sky, earth and sea
To following duty
God had to begin.
Hereafter the
lights in the sky He set
Doing the moon and
the sun for night and day,
And other signs
and stars in dose correct,
for making years
and seasons going away,
For the Most High
is much more than perfect
And furthermore of
this I cannot say!
About this seventh
stanza therefore
I will not tell
you nothing anymore!
“Fly off all
birds”- said God- “freely in the air
And splash about
in to sea any fish;
Graze lambs,
calves and livestock everywhere
In grassy lawns
that will never languish;
Grow up any
reptiles fair and unfair,
living beings
either monstrous or polish!”
After the earth
had all animals found
God said to them
to multiply around.
And finally He
said: - “ Let’s make now man
In our image and likeness,
every
And each animal to
lead on command!”
After doing that
He rested quietly.
Henceforward,
after six days, on the land
man, on the
seventh, stays steady Godly,
being it
consecrated for prairie and rest,
Both the last
hours and also the first!
