Behold where Beauty walks with Peace! Behold where Plenty pours her horn Of fruits, of flowers, fat increase, As generous as light of morn. Green Shasta, San Diego, seas Of bloom and green between them rolled. Great herds in grasses to their knees, And green earth garmented in gold. White peaks that prop the sapphire blue Look down on Edens, such as when That fair, first spot perfection knew And God walked perfect earth with men. I say God's kingdom is at hand Right here, if we but lift our eyes; I say there lies no line or land Between this land and Paradise. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DIFFERENT VIEWS; A CHRISMAS DUET by JOSEPH ASHBY-STERRY AN UNMERRY CHRISTMAS by AMBROSE BIERCE CHRISTMAS IN CHINATOWN by AUGUST KLEINZAHLER CHRISTMAS TREE by JOHN FREDERICK NIMS ISAIAH'S COAL by JOHN FREDERICK NIMS SOUNDS OF THE RESURRECTED DEAD MAN'S FOOTSTEPS (#3): 1.
