Night Winds from Eden
by
Wesley A. Storer
A little bird flew out of Eden
Like silk on a satin dream sky
Catching me one day by surprise
Thus quothing in cheery chirp
'It has been said by some
That in Death there is no sense
Of the passing of time -------
A second or a million years
Is gone in a cathedral chime
And it is said of life by some
Happening once it might happen
Twice or if lucky even thrice
But I sing what a mercy its been
You've not known the knowledge
Of how happy they were in Eden
For happiness such as theirs
Might have been thine
Had they not got so smart
That they can destroy the Earth
Arousing my serious displeasure
With their lustful disobeyance'
