The Poem of Creation

III

End of Chapter One

Insofar a day, while he was sleeping,
God took one of his ribs from his right side
And close up its place with flesh, according
Not to keep him alone, such a grac’ful glide
became a woman, companion cleaving:
On body and soul with man equal inside
and ‘t was a joy! But from that happiness
Adam had soon be wak’n on bitterness!

In truth, as I have already said,
it was the snake the deceiving actor,
who convinced Eve to be so mad
to eat the fruit that the Good Factor
had forbidden; and she convinced her lad
they would have become like a professor
of science and art of evil and good !
That fruit so became the damned food!

End of First Part
To be continued with God’s malediction and the descendents of Adam and Eve

The Poem of Creation

- God, after creating all the animals, does want to make the man in His image and likeness!

The World’s Creation
II
“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!


But the Creation was not yet complete
Still being missed the breath of the Animator
Who can transform into a giant a bit!
Waters from earth going up by Creator
To mist all over the ground were admit
So could mould the man God the Great Factor
and by that divine blow the man was made
but nevertheless, he still lonely stayed.

The Poem of Creation

The World’s Creation

I

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!
