A Miracle? Is it more strange than nature's common way?
From out the common clay
A shaft of green is lifted toward the sun,
And from its heart is spun
Fair fabrics ere its day is done—
Whorled leaves, an airy stem,
A crimson, fragile diadem,
And who can tell
Whence came the power thus to compel
A little seed beneath the sod
To fashion such a wondrous rod?
A miracle?—A thought of God
Which science scorns—
Is it more strange than flowers and thorns
That spring these mystic forms to birth
From out the trodden paths of Earth?
