I made the sky of depthless blue,

The sea of complimentary hue,

Ensured that these designer tones

Were glimpsed in pebbles, pools and stones.

I knew the job was well in hand

And started working on the land -

The slanting hillsides, giddy peaks

Must all be done in forty weeks.

The people were the hardest part,

(Inside I feel your beating heart)

They kept me up for half the night

Getting the little details right.

You’ll see that I had much ado

To make men faithful, women true,

Or children quiet and well-behaved,

Or politicians not depraved.

I tried my best to make a place

That would be worthy of your grace,

But now that you are born, I see,

In truth you made the world for me.
