A Metternichian State of Repose in a Concert of Leaves and Light
Up before dawn and out among the quiet Concelebrating with God the leafy light That falls as blessing upon the lawn’s soft turns From grey to gold to green to springing life
And then from meditation to liturgy The Opus Dei of Saturday mornings With rake and shovel and fire against the litter That shoals into corners and along the fence
The feeblest remembrance of God’s mighty hand Shaping chaos into order and meaning
