DIRT AND DEITY, by                    
First Line: If gutter-puddles after rain
Last Line: And mirror heaven, too.
Subject(s): Faith; Belief; Creed


If gutter-puddles after rain
Can always look on high;
And even with a floor of mud,
Can have a roof of sky,

I never wonder any more
How man (a pool of blue)
Can at the bottom gather mire
And mirror Heaven, too.
