So Love, emergent out of chaos, brought The world to light! And gently moving on the waters, wrought All form to sight! Love's appetite Did beauty first excite, And left imprinted in the air Those signatures of good and fair, CHORUS Which since have flowed, flowed forth upon the sense, To wonder first, and then to excellence, By virtue of divine intelligence! @3The Ingemination@1 And Neptune too Shows what his waves can do, To call the muses all to play And sing the birth of Venus' day, CHORUS Which from the sea flowed forth upon the sense, To wonder first and next to excellence, By virtue of divine intelligence! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO A CHILD EMBRACING HIS MOTHER by THOMAS HOOD SONNET: 144 by WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE MAN AN' MOOSE by ROBERT ADAMSON (1832-) PEARLS OF THE FAITH: 56.
