"Adam and Eve" by Maxfield Parrish (1870-1966)

 

"In Eden's Heart"
 
In Eden's Heart a love became
New born from God's own Will
And man his other half did name
We bear those same names still.
 
So God's sweet gift from His own hand
Has touched US, You and I
Though now we may not understand
And dare not ask Him Why."
 
Though we are separate You and I
Together for all time
It makes no sense to question "Why?"
Your heart is part of mine.
 
Though I have come from Earth's own clay
You're still a part of me
I feel you with me every day
Our spirits can fly free.
 Adriaan
