First Line: Dear earth, it almost seems a sacrilege
Last Line: Of earth. It breathes so near the heart of god.
Subject(s): Earth; Walking; World
Dear earth, it almost seems a sacrilege
After the patterned ways may feet have trod
On cobblestones and pavements beaten hard,
To set my sandaled feet upon your sod.
Oh shoes, tread lightly on the tender breast
Of earth. It breathes so near the heart of God.
