Thank you for reminding of this lovely poem.

I'm glad! I don't post poems with God in them very often because many people don't appreciate that, even if the poem isn't religious, but this is just such a fine poem regardless of the God.

Yes, I can certainly understand that! I don't think you even need to understand English to appreciate this poem if someone read it out loud to you; it's so beautifully constructed.
