SONGS OF CREATION: 7, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: The chiefest reason why I made
Last Line: Creation made me once more sound.
Subject(s): Creation; Earth; Soul; World


THE chiefest reason why I made
The earth, I will confess with gladness:
Within my soul, like fiery madness,
A burning call to do so play'd.

Illness was the especial ground
Of my creative inclination;
I might recover by creation,
Creation made me once more sound.
