‘What a piece of work is a man! '
It rings down through aisles
And comes down through eons
Is there anything created so far
To supersede this great wonder?
From null and void, God willed life to emerge
It took six days for Him
To fabricate the whole of universe
On the sixth day He decided
To inhabit it with Man
Deeming him to be the crown of creation,
God wished Man to be in His own image
With much care He moulded a figure
Breathing life into it, He called him Adam
Born into the lap of loneliness
Adam paced restless up and down
God knew he badly needed a mate
And willed the solitary man, a companion
Nonpareil in beauty and grace,
God wanted her to be the marvel of marvels
With wonderful craftsmanship
God began working on His new creation
Adam, being the final draft
He now wanted to have His masterpiece!
Seeing God working overtime
The angels in Heaven came down.
Overwhelmed by awe and wonder
Rallying round Him, they asked in chorus
