Shirley Hibberd (Where does the wisdom)

"Where does the wisdom and the power divine In a more bright and sweet reflection shine? Where do we finer strokes and colours see Of the Creator's real poetry, Than when we with attention look Upon the third day's volume of the Book? If we could open and intend our eye, We all like Moses should espy, Even in a bush, the radiant Deity" COWLEY, The Garden, Essay V.
