GENESIS by JOHN HALL INGHAM

First Line: DID CHAOS FORM - AND WATER, AIR, AND FIRE
Last Line: MIGHT BE ONCE MORE THE WORM, THE ROCK, THE TREE?

DID Chaos form, -- and water, air, and fire,
Rocks, trees, the worm, work toward Humanity, --
That Man at last, beneath the churchyard spire,
Might be once more the worm, the rock, the tree?
